Correction?
Which of the following combinations of reactants will result in a synthesis reaction? (My answer: C)

Cl2 + HBr

Ca + H2O

MgO + H2O

C2H2 + O2

Respuesta :

Your answer is correct.

MgO(s) + H2O(l) ----> Mg(OH)2(aq)

Answer: The correct answer is [tex]MgO+H_2O[/tex]

Explanation:

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction in which two smaller substances combine together to form a large single compound.

[tex]A+B\rightarrow AB[/tex]

For the given options:

Option 1:  [tex]Cl_2+HBr[/tex]

These two combination produces hydrochloric acid and bromine gas. The reaction is known as single displacement reaction.

[tex]Cl_2+2HBr\rightarrow 2HCl+Br_2[/tex]

Option 2:  [tex]Ca+H_2O[/tex]

These two combination produces calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is known as single displacement reaction.

[tex]Ca+2H_2O\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2+H_2[/tex]

Option 3:  [tex]MgO+H_2O[/tex]

These two combination produces magnesium hydroxide only. The reaction is known as synthesis reaction.

[tex]MgO+H_2O\rightarrow Mg(OH)2[/tex]

Option 4:  [tex]C_2H_2+O_2[/tex]

These two combination produces carbon dioxide and water molecule. The reaction is known as combustion reaction.

[tex]2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O[/tex]

From the above information, the correct answer is [tex]MgO+H_2O[/tex]
