Answer Key

Multiple Choice:

  1. d) All of the above
  2. b) Synthesis
  3. b) Mass is conserved and equal on both sides of the equation
  4. b) One element takes the place of another element in a compound

True/False: 5. True 6. False 7. True 8. True

Short Answer: 9. \( CH_4 + 2O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + 2H_2O \) 10. Endothermic reactions absorb energy, while exothermic reactions release energy. 11. A redox reaction involves the transfer of electrons. Example: \( Zn + CuSO_4 \rightarrow ZnSO_4 + Cu \) 12. Factors include temperature, concentration, surface area, and the presence of a catalyst.

Fill in the Blanks: 13. Decomposition 14. Double replacement 15. Rate
