Question

multiple choice 1 point
identify the type of reaction (note the equation is not balanced).
fe₂(so₄)₃ + k(oh) → k₂(so₄) + fe(oh)₃
double replacement
combustion
single replacement
synthesis
decomposition

Explanation:

In a double - replacement reaction, the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places. Here, the sulfate ions ($SO_4^{2-}$) and hydroxide ions ($OH^-$) exchange places between the iron(III) sulfate ($Fe_2(SO_4)_3$) and potassium hydroxide ($KOH$) compounds to form potassium sulfate ($K_2SO_4$) and iron(III) hydroxide ($Fe(OH)_3$). A combustion reaction involves a substance reacting with oxygen to produce heat and light. A single - replacement reaction has one element replacing another in a compound. A synthesis reaction combines two or more substances to form one product. A decomposition reaction breaks one compound into two or more simpler substances.

Answer:

double replacement
