Let's classify each of the given reactions based on their types:
-
2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂
- Type: b. Decomposition
- Explanation: Water is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen.
-
2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
- Type: c. Combustion
- Explanation: Ethane (C₂H₆) is combusted in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
-
2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl
- Type: e. Synthesis
- Explanation: Sodium and chlorine react to form sodium chloride.
-
4 AlBr₃ + 3O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃ + 6 Br₂
- Type: a. Double Replacement
- Explanation: While the reaction doesn't precisely fit typical definitions (like ionic exchange), it features both aluminum and bromine transitioning to different states/products, which can be interpreted by some as a double replacement. However, this classification may vary; the main reaction involves species converting forms.
-
KCl + NaI → KI + NaCl
- Type: a. Double Replacement
- Explanation: Potassium chloride and sodium iodide exchange partners to form potassium iodide and sodium chloride.
Now let's summarize the classifications:
- Decomposition: 2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂
- Combustion: 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
- Synthesis: 2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl
- Double Replacement: 4 AlBr₃ + 3O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃ + 6 Br₂ (can also be debated)
- Double Replacement: KCl + NaI → KI + NaCl
