Identify the type of reaction: 2AgCl + BaBr2 -> 2AgBr + BaCl2 A) decomposition
B) combustion
C) double replacement
D) single replacement

C

Explanation:

Just look at the reactants.

2AgCl + BaBr2

The first reactant is made of 2 elements.

The second reactant is made of 2 elements.

It can't be a decomposition. At this level there is only one reactant made of 2 elements. Something like

2MgO ===> 2Mg + O2

is a decomposition.  One compound breaking down into 2 elements Mg and O.

It can't be a combustion. One of the reactants in a combustion is oxygen. Those equations look like

C3H8 + 5O2 ==> 3CO2 + 4H2O

That would be what a combustion looks like

It can't be a single replacement. They look like

Mg + CuO ===> Cu + MgO

There are elements on both sides of the reaction.

that leaves a double replacement which I wrote about how you distinguish it.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
