What type of reaction will occur with the following reactants? CaS + NaCl -->

A) double replacement
B) decomposition
C) synthesis
D) single replacement

A) double replacement

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NaCl +CaS    →    Na₂S + CaCl₂

Balanced chemical equation:

2NaCl +CaS    →    Na₂S + CaCl₂

The given reaction is double replacement reaction in which cation and anions of each reactant exchange with each other.

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

AB + CD → AD +CB

Other options are incorrect because,

Synthesis reaction:

It is the reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.

AB → A + B

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.

AB + C → AC + B

Decomposition reaction:

It is the reaction in which one reactant is break down into two or more product.

AB → A + B

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
