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.
