Question

balance the following chemical equations and identify the type of chemical reaction:a) mg(s)+cl2(g) - mg cl2(s)

Answer 1

a). Mg(s) + Cl2(g) --> MgCl2(s)

It is combination reaction.

Answer 2

In the given chemical equation,there is no need to balance the equation as there is 'equal number of atoms' of each 'element' on both the sides. The above given reaction is a type of Combination reaction.

Explanation:

A reaction in which 'two or more elements' combine together to give a 'single product or single element' is called a combination reaction which is also known as synthesis reaction.

Generally these equations are in the form of:

A + B = AB
