What is the general chemical equation for each of the following types of
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
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.
