Question

What type of chemical reaction is this? for the magnesium oxide with sodium chloride to produce magnesium chloride and sodium oxide

Answer 1

Write it down, there's only about 5 types of chemical reactions.

Answer 2

Mgo+NacI>MgCI2+Na2C

Answer 3

MgO+NaCI>MgCI2+Na2O
This is the unbalanced reaction.

Answer 4

Let's see. The main types of reactions are synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion. Do you know what these terms mean?

Answer 5

not really. I'm trying to understand it .

Answer 6

Ok. Do you first understand the unbalanced reaction, the way that I wrote it?

Answer 7

Synthesis is two (or more) elements or compounds forming one compound. A + B -> AB

Answer 8

Decomposition is one compound decomposing into multiple compounds or elements. AB -> A + B

Answer 9

Single replacement is when an element replaces or is substituted for one of the elements in a compound. A + BC -> AB + C

Answer 10

Double replacement is basically an exchange of partners.
AB + CD -> AD + BC

Answer 11

ok the balance would be Mgo+ 2NacI=MgI2+Na2O

Answer 12

I think you mean MgO+ 2NaCI=MgCI2+Na2O
which is perfect! :)

Answer 13

A combustion reaction is when oxygen combines with another compound to form water and carbon dioxide.

Answer 14

You right and I believe would be double replacement

Answer 15

Awesome! That is what I get. :)

Answer 16

THANK YOU SO MUCH ,YOU ARE AWESOME

Answer 17

Glad I could help :)
