Use the generalized chemical equation to answer the question.

Question

A + BC -> AC + B

Which type of reaction does the generalized equation represent?
A. double replacement
B. decomposition
C. synthesis
D. single replacment

Answer 1

The generalized chemical equation \( A + BC \rightarrow AC + B \) represents a single replacement reaction.

In this type of reaction, an element (A) replaces another element (B) in a compound (BC) to form a new compound (AC), along with the displaced element (B).

Therefore, the correct answer is: D. single replacement.
