Question

combination (synthesis)
a + b → ab
zn(s) + cl₂(g) → zncl₂(s)
what type of reaction is zn + cl₂ → zncl₂?

Explanation:

In a synthesis (combination) reaction, two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Here, \(Zn\) (zinc) and \(Cl_{2}\) (chlorine) combine to form \(ZnCl_{2}\) (zinc chloride), which follows the general form \(A + B
ightarrow AB\) of a synthesis reaction.

Answer:

Synthesis
