Question

Identify the reaction type for each generic chemical equation.

A + B → AB:
synthesis

AB → A + B:
decomposition

Hydrocarbon + O2 → CO2 + H2O:

AB + CD → AD + CB:

Answer 1

Let's identify the reaction types for the given generic chemical equations.

1. **A + B → AB:**
- **Type:** Synthesis (or Combination)

2. **AB → A + B:**
- **Type:** Decomposition

3. **Hydrocarbon + O2 → CO2 + H2O:**
- **Type:** Combustion

4. **AB + CD → AD + CB:**
- **Type:** Double Displacement (or Double Replacement)

So, the classifications are:
1. Synthesis
2. Decomposition
3. Combustion
4. Double Displacement (or Double Replacement)
