Question

identify the following reactions as formation, simple decomposition or other.

reaction classification

2h₂o₂(l) → 2h₂o(l) + o₂(g) simple decomposition

nh₃(g) + h₂o(l) → nh₄oh(aq) formation

fe(s) + 1/2o₂(g) → feo(s) formation

hf(g) → 1/2h₂(g) + 1/2f₂(g) simple decomposition

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
- For $2H_2O_2(l)\to2H_2O(l)+O_2(g)$: A single reactant ($H_2O_2$) breaks down into two products ($H_2O$ and $O_2$), which is characteristic of simple decomposition.
- For $NH_3(g)+H_2O(l)\to NH_4OH(aq)$: Two substances ($NH_3$ and $H_2O$) combine to form a new compound ($NH_4OH$), fitting the formation reaction pattern.
- For $Fe(s)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\to FeO(s)$: Iron ($Fe$) and oxygen ($O_2$) combine to form iron oxide ($FeO$), a formation reaction.
- For $HF(g)\to\frac{1}{2}H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}F_2(g)$: A single reactant ($HF$) decomposes into two simpler substances ($H_2$ and $F_2$), so it is simple decomposition.
