Chemical equations are written communications intended to describe chemical reactions happening before our eyes. What does the chemical equation for a synthesis reaction tell us is happening in the flask? ble What does the chemical equation for a decomposition reaction tell us is happening in the flask? Find and copy or write an example of a synthesis equation describing the formation of an ionic compound (a salt). d) For the product of this equation, write a chemical equation describing its decomposition. c) Choose an element that could react with your synthesis product to replace one of its ions. Explain how you chose this element and why you are certain it would react.

Question

Part C hint: come up with an example of a synthesis equation for an ionic compound. 

Part D hint: write a chemical equation describing its decomposition. There’s a connection between parts c and d.


E hint: choose another element that could react with your synthesis product. For example, iron could react with magnesium oxide to do the replacement.

Chemical equations are written communications intended to describe chemical
reactions happening before our eyes.
a).

Part C: Synthesis reaction involves the formation of a single product from a
combination of two or more products. Ionic compounds or salt like sodium
chloride can be prepared using the synthesis equation. Sodium metal in
reaction with chlorine, produces sodium chloride, an ionic compound. 2
Na+C12 --> 2 NaCl.
