Identify the reaction type for each generic chemical equation.

Question

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)
