Read each question carefully and provide the best answer. Identify the type of chemical reaction described or shown.
1. Which type of reaction involves two or more reactants combining to form a single, more complex product?
Decomposition
Synthesis
Single Displacement
Combustion
2. The reaction 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂ is an example of what type of reaction?
Synthesis
Decomposition
Double Displacement
Combustion
3. In a reaction, an element reacts with a compound, displacing another element from the compound.
4. A reaction that involves a hydrocarbon reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water is called a reaction.
5. A double displacement reaction typically involves two ionic compounds exchanging ions to form two new compounds.
True
False
6. In a synthesis reaction, a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
True
False
7. Describe the key difference between a single displacement reaction and a double displacement reaction.
Match each reaction type with its general form.
8. Synthesis
a. AB → A + B
9. Decomposition
b. A + BX → AX + B
10. Single Displacement
c. AX + BY → AY + BX
11. Double Displacement
d. A + B → AB
