Chapter 8.1, Problem 3PPC

(i)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For each of the given reactions, whether it is a combination reaction, a decomposition reaction or a combustion reaction are needed to be determined.

Concept introduction:

• Chemical reaction is the process of interactions of atoms of chemical compounds to form different chemical compounds.
• Combustion is the process of burning of a compound; in which the compound reacts with excess of oxygen.
• Combination reaction is a reaction process of combination of two or more reactants to form a single product.
• Decomposition is like a reversible reaction of combination; because here the single reactant undergoes reaction to form two or more products.
