Question

Identify each of the following skeleton equations as representing a synthesis reaction, a combustion reaction, or decomposition reaction
a. N2(g) + H2(g)~NH3(g)

Answer 1

The skeleton equation \( N_2(g) + H_2(g) \rightarrow NH_3(g) \) represents a **synthesis reaction**. In this type of reaction, two or more reactants combine to form a single product. In this case, nitrogen and hydrogen combine to produce ammonia.
