Explain the following reaction with one suitable example for each.(a) Combination reactions(b) Decomposition reaction(c) Displacement reaction(d) Double decomposition reaction

Answer»

(a) Combination reactions: In this reaction, two or more substances combine to form a new substance, e.g. Burning of hydrogen in air. 

(b) Decomposition reaction: In this reaction, a substance breaks upon heating to form two or simpler substances, e.g. Electrolysis of water. 

(c) Displacement reaction: In this reaction a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound, e.g. Reaction of iron with copper sulphate

(d) Double decomposition reaction: In this reaction, two compounds in solution state react with each other to form two new substances by exchanging their radicals, e.g. Reaction of sodium hydroxide with dilute hydrochloric acid.
