Question

classify each of the following as a combination, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, or combustion reaction.

1. ca(s) + pbcl₂(aq) → cacl₂(aq) + pb(s)

what type of reaction is #5?
multi-choice question
double replacement
single replacement
decomposition
combination
combustion
reduction

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reaction types

Single - displacement reaction: A + BC → AC + B.

Step2: Analyze the given reaction

In \(Ca(s)+PbCl_{2}(aq)\to CaCl_{2}(aq)+Pb(s)\), calcium (\(Ca\)) displaces lead (\(Pb\)) from \(PbCl_{2}\).

Answer:

Single displacement reaction.
