Answer:

Single-Replacement Reaction

General Formulas and Concepts:

Types of Reactions

  • Synthesis Reactions: A + B → AB
  • Decomposition Reactions: AB → A + B
  • Single-Replacement Reactions: A + BC → AB + C
  • Double-Replacement Reactions: AB + CD → AD + BC

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define reaction

CaCl₂ + F₂ → CaF₂ + Cl₂

Step 2: Identify backplate

Single-Replacement Reactions: A + BC → AB + C

BC = CaCl₂

A = F₂

AB = CaF₂

C = Cl₂
