Question

identifying types of chemical reaction
identify the reaction type for each generic chemical equation.
a + b → ab:
ab → a + b:
hydrocarbon + o₂ → co₂ + h₂o:
ab + cd → ad + cb:

Explanation:

• For \(A + B

ightarrow AB\), it is a combination reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

• For \(AB

ightarrow A + B\), it is a decomposition reaction where a single reactant breaks down into two or more products.

• For Hydrocarbon \(+O_{2}

ightarrow CO_{2}+H_{2}O\), it is a combustion reaction as hydrocarbons react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

• For \(AB + CD

ightarrow AD+CB\), it is a double - displacement reaction where the ions of two compounds exchange places.

Answer:

Combination reaction; Decomposition reaction; Combustion reaction; Double - displacement reaction
