1 pts
identify the type of reaction...
sncl2 + 2li -> 2licl + sn
combustion
decomposition
double replacement
synthesis
single replacement

Explanation:

• Combustion: Involves reaction with oxygen to produce heat and light (e.g., \(C + O_2

ightarrow CO_2\)). Not applicable here as no oxygen - related reaction.

• Decomposition: A single compound breaks into simpler substances (e.g., \(H_2O

ightarrow H_2 + O_2\)). Not the case here.

• Double Replacement: Two compounds exchange ions (e.g., \(AgNO_3+NaCl

ightarrow AgCl + NaNO_3\)). Not this reaction.

• Synthesis: Two or more substances combine to form one compound (e.g., \(2H_2+O_2

ightarrow 2H_2O\)). Not relevant.

• Single Replacement: One element replaces another in a compound. In \(SnCl_2 + 2Li

ightarrow 2LiCl+Sn\), Li (a metal) replaces Sn in \(SnCl_2\).

Answer:

Single Replacement
