Given:
Chemical reaction- Ca + Cl2 → CaCl2
To determine:
The type of the chemical reaction
Explanation:
In the given reaction multiple reactants i.e, calcium and chlorine combine to form a single product calcium chloride CaCl2. Hence, this can be categorised as a synthesis reaction.
Ans: a) Synthesis
The chemical reaction that takes place is that of synthesis.
It can be seen from the reaction below that:
[tex]Ca + Cl_{2}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]CaCl_{2}[/tex]
There is no reaction between an element and oxygen forming water and carbon dioxide, so it cannot be considered a combustion reaction.
It is also possible to notice that it is not the substitution of one element for the other, but the addition of two elements forming a new one.
So, it is correct to say that a synthesis reaction occurred.
