Question

11
identify the reaction type: * (0.5 points)
__agc₂h₃o₂(aq) + __mgcl₂(aq) →
single replacement
combustion
double replacement
decomposition
synthesis

Explanation:

The reaction involves two aqueous ionic compounds (\( \text{AgC}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2 \) and \( \text{MgCl}_2 \)). In a double - replacement reaction, the cations and anions of two compounds exchange places. Here, the silver ion (\( \text{Ag}^+ \)) and magnesium ion (\( \text{Mg}^{2+} \)) will exchange their respective anions (\( \text{C}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2^- \) and \( \text{Cl}^- \)). Single - replacement involves one element replacing another in a compound, combustion is a reaction with oxygen (usually producing \( \text{CO}_2 \) and \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \) for hydrocarbons), decomposition is a single compound breaking down, and synthesis is combining substances to form a single compound. So this is a double - replacement reaction.

Answer:

Double replacement
