Question

physical science a semester exam
use the generalized equation to answer the question.
a + bc → b + ac
which type of reaction is modeled by the equation?
(1 point)
synthesis
double replacement
decomposition
single replacement

Explanation:

In a single - replacement reaction, one element replaces another element in a compound. Here, element A replaces element B in the compound BC. In a synthesis reaction, two or more substances combine to form one compound. In a double - replacement reaction, the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places. In a decomposition reaction, a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

Answer:

single replacement
