    AgNO3 + NaCl ---> AgCl + NaNO3 is what type of reaction?

    • A.

      Combination

    • B.

      Decomposition

    • C.

      Single Replacement

    • D.

      Double Replacement

    • E.

      Combustion

    Correct Answer
    D. Double Replacement
    Explanation
    The given reaction, AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO3, is a double replacement reaction. In this type of reaction, the positive ions of two compounds switch places to form two new compounds. In this case, the silver ion (Ag+) from silver nitrate (AgNO3) combines with the chloride ion (Cl-) from sodium chloride (NaCl) to form silver chloride (AgCl), while the sodium ion (Na+) from sodium chloride combines with the nitrate ion (NO3-) from silver nitrate to form sodium nitrate (NaNO3).

  • 4. 

    PbO2 + 4KI ---> 2K2O + PbI4 is what type of reaction?

    • A.

      Combination

    • B.

      Decomposition

    • C.

      Single Replacement

    • D.

      Double Replacement

    • E.

      Combustion

    Correct Answer
    D. Double Replacement
    Explanation
    The given reaction is a double replacement reaction because the positive ions in the reactants (Pb and K) exchange places to form new compounds (K2O and PbI4) in the products.

      Double Replacement

    • E.

      Combustion

    Correct Answer
    A. Combination
    Explanation
    The given chemical equation, 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O, represents a combination reaction. In this reaction, two molecules of hydrogen gas (H2) combine with one molecule of oxygen gas (O2) to form two molecules of water (H2O). Combination reactions involve the merging of two or more substances to form a single compound.
