For each of the following types of reactions, write a general reaction formula in the symbolic form—for example, A + B → AB.
single-displacement
double-displacement
synthesis
decomposition

Respuesta :

I am taking the same test ;)


1.) Single-displacement  

AB + C --> AC + B  

2.) Double-displacement

AB + CD --> AD + CB

3.) Synthesis

A + B --> AB

4.) Decomposition

AB --> A + B

Hope this helps!


Answer: The given reaction is the generic reaction for synthesis reaction.

Explanation:

For the given options:

  • Option A: Single displacement reaction

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element fro its chemical reaction.

[tex]A+BC\rightarrow AC+B[/tex]

  • Option B: Double-displacement reaction

Double-displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

[tex]AB+CD\rightarrow AD+CB[/tex]

  • Option C: Synthesis

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction in which two substances combine in their elemental state to form one single product

[tex]A+B\rightarrow AB[/tex]

  • Option D: Decomposition

Decomposition reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which a large substance breaks down into two or more small substances

[tex]AB\rightarrow A+B[/tex]

Hence, the given reaction is the generic reaction for synthesis reaction.
