Question

How does the number of products in a synthesis reaction compare with the number of reactants?

A) the number of products is greater than the number of reactants
B) the number of products is less that the number of reactants
C) the number of products is the same as the number of reactants
D) the number of products may be greater or less than the number of reactants

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction in which two or more substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound.

The general equation representing this reaction follows:

`A+B\rightarrow AB`

As, number of reactants in this type of reaction will always be more bacuse a single product is forming in this reaction.

Thus, the correct answer is Option B.
