6. Match each definition with the correct term. one product synthesis one reactant decomposition an element on each side of equation — compounds everywhere fuel burned electrons gained and lost double-replacement single-replacement synthesis redox decomposition combustion Finish Test

Answer:

1. One product – Synthesis
2. One reactant – Decomposition
3. An element on each side of equation – Single-replacement
4. Compounds everywhere – Double-replacement
5. Fuel burned – Combustion
6. Electrons gained and lost – Redox

Explanation:

This problem involves matching chemical reaction types with their definitions. Each type of reaction has distinct characteristics:

1. Synthesis Reaction: Involves combining two or more reactants to form a single product.
2. Decomposition Reaction: A single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
3. Single-Replacement Reaction: An element in a compound is replaced by another element.
4. Double-Replacement Reaction: Two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form different compounds.
5. Combustion Reaction: A substance (often a hydrocarbon) reacts with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of light or heat.
6. Redox Reaction: Involves the transfer of electrons between two species, resulting in oxidation and reduction.

Steps:

1. Synthesis:

• Identify reactions where multiple reactants form a single product.
• Example: \( A + B \rightarrow AB \)

1. Decomposition:

• Identify reactions where a single reactant breaks down into multiple products.
• Example: \( AB \rightarrow A + B \)

1. Single-Replacement:

• Identify reactions where an element replaces another in a compound.
• Example: \( A + BC \rightarrow AC + B \)

1. Double-Replacement:

• Identify reactions where components of two compounds swap places.
• Example: \( AB + CD \rightarrow AD + CB \)

1. Combustion:

• Identify reactions involving oxygen and a fuel, producing heat and light.
• Example: \( C_xH_y + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O \)

1. Redox:

• Identify reactions involving electron transfer, where oxidation and reduction occur.
• Example: \( \text{Zn} + \text{Cu}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+} + \text{Cu} \)

These definitions and examples help in identifying and matching the correct reaction types with their descriptions.
