Characterize each reaction by determining its reaction type

a. CaO (s) + H20 (l) - Ca (OH) 2 (aq)

b. Fe (s) + CuSO4 (aq) - FeSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

c. C10H8 () + 1202 (g) - 1OCO2 (g) + 4H20 (g)

d. NaCl (aq) + AgNO3 (aq) - NaNO3 (aq) + AgCl (s)

e. NH4NO3 (s) - N2O (g) + 2H20 (g)

a synthesis reaction b redox reaction c decomposition reaction d redox reaction e decomposition reaction

Explanation:

a CaO+H20=Ca (OH) 2 this is a synthesis reaction because in this reaction calcium oxide reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide

b Fe + CuSO4 = FeSO4+Cu this is a redox reaction as in this reaction iron is oxidized to form ferrus sulphate and copper sulphate is reduced to copper

c C10H8+12O2 = 10CO2+4H2O this is a decomposition reaction because in this reaction the hydrocarbon C10H8 undergo breakdown by oxidation to form carbon dioxide and water.

d NaCl+AgNO3=NaNO3+AgCl this is a redox reaction because in this reaction NaCl is oxidized to form NaNO3 whereas AgNO3 is reduced to form AgCl.

e NH4NO3=N2O+2H2O this is a decomposition reaction as ammonium nitrate in this reaction undergo breakdown to form nitrous oxide and water.
