Question

What is the general chemical equation for each of the following types of chemical reactions?

a)   Exchange reaction

answer choices 

X+Y=XY

AX+BY=AY+BX

XY=X+Y

X+YZ=Y+XZ

b)   Decomposition reaction

answer choices 

X+Y=XY

AX+BY=AY+BX

XY=X+Y

X+YZ=Y+XZ

c)   Displacement reaction

answer choices 

X+Y=XY

AX+BY=AY+BX

XY=X+Y

X+YZ=Y+XZ

d)  Combination reaction

answer choices 

X+Y=XY

AX+BY=AY+BX

XY=X+Y

X+YZ=Y+XZ

 

Expert Solution
Step 1 : Introduction

There are following reaction, 

X +  Y   ---->   XY

Here two molecules combine to form a single molecule therefore it is a Combination reaction

AX + BY -------> AY + BX

Here, anions of A and B are exchanged during the reaction therefore it is Exchange reaction.

XY --------> X + Y

Here, one molecule give rise to two new molecules therefore this reaction is Decomposition reaction.

X + YZ ------> Y + XZ

Here the highly reactive element X replaced the less reactive Y from the compound YZ therefore it is known as Displacement Reaction.
