Balance the equation and identify the type of reaction for ? p4(s) + ? ca(s) → ? ca3p2(s). 1. 2; 6; 2 — decomposition 2. 2; 6; 2 — displacement 3. 1; 6; 2 — displacement 4. 1; 6; 2 — synthesis 5. 2; 6; 2 — synthesis 6. 1; 6; 2 — decomposition

4. 1; 6; 2 — synthesis

Explanation:

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction in which a single large substance breaks down into two or more smaller substances.

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction in which smaller substances combine in their elemental state to form a larger substance.

The unbalanced combustion reaction is shown below as:-

On the left hand side,  

There are 4 phosphorus atoms and 1 calcium atom

On the right hand side,  

There are 2 phosphorus atoms and 3 calcium atoms

Thus,  

Right side, must be multiplied by 2 to balance phosphorus.

Left side, is multiplied by 6 so to balance the whole reaction.

Thus, the balanced reaction is:-

Thus, - 4. 1; 6; 2 — synthesis

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8  

mgco3-5h2o"

you didnt put any of the following
