Question

Identify what type of reaction is below. also determine what coefficients that would balance the chemical equation. ___ fe(oh)2 → ___ feo + ___h2o

a.single replacement; 3, 1, 2
b.decomposition; 1, 1, 1
c.synthesis; 1, 1, 1
d.combustion; 1, 1, 1

Answer 1

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

It can be seen in the chemical reaction presented above that the chemical compound Fe(OH)2 splits into FeO and H2O. The type of chemical reaction that involves the splitting is called the decomposition reaction.

The balance of this chemical reaction is,

Fe(OH2) --> FeO + H2O

This means that the numerical coefficients should be equal to one for all blanks.

The answer is letter B.
