2al(c2h3o2)3 + 3baso4 → al2(so4)3 + 3ba(c2h3o2)2 which type of chemical reaction does this equation represent? f synthesis g neutralization h oxidation-reduction j double-replacement
Answer is: j. double-replacement. Double displacement
reactions - cations and anions of the two reactants switch
places and form two new compounds. Neutralizationis
is reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In this reaction, there are no acids and bases, only salts. Synthesis
is reaction of two or more substances combining to make a more complex
substance. In this example, there is more complex substance in products. Oxidation-reduction reactions - change in the oxidation number between the reactants and the products. In this example there is no change in oxidation number of elements.
