What does collate mean?
correctly assembled sequence
What is an example of a synthesis?
A synthesis reaction occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product. An example of a synthesis reaction is the combination of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) to produce sodium chloride (NaCl). This reaction is represented by the chemical equation: 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl.
What does it mean to synthesize?
transitive verb. 1 : to combine or produce by synthesis. 2 : to make a synthesis of. 3 : to produce (something, such as music) by an electronic synthesizer.
What is another name for synthesis reaction?
direct reaction
Is water a synthesis reaction?
The formation of water is classified as a synthesis reaction becuase it involves combining two molecules to form a single, larger molecule.
How can you tell if a reaction is synthesis?
One easy-to-recognize type of synthesis reaction occurs when two or more elements combine to form a compound. The other type of synthesis reaction happens when an element and a compound combine to form a new compound. Basically, to identify this reaction, look for a product that contains all the reactant atoms.
What is the simplest kind of decomposition reaction?
The simplest kind of decomposition reaction is when a binary compound decomposes into its elements. Mercury (II) oxide, a red solid, decomposes when heated to produce mercury and oxygen gas. A reaction is also considered to be a decomposition reaction even when one or more of the produces are still compounds.
What are 2 examples of decomposition reactions?
A decomposition reaction occurs when one reactant breaks down into two or more products. This can be represented by the general equation: AB → A + B. Examples of decomposition reactions include the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen, and the breakdown of water to hydrogen and oxygen.
What are the three types of decomposition reactions?
Decomposition reactions can be classified into three types:
- Thermal decomposition reaction.
- Electrolytic decomposition reaction.
- Photo decomposition reaction.
What is the major drawback to using Word equations?
Word equations can be very useful, but do have one major drawback. They cannot be used for any quantitative work. A word equation does not tell how many moles of each material are needed or how many moles of product are formed.
