Explain the following terms with
examples.
a. Endothermic reaction
b. Combination reaction
c. Balanced equation
d. Displacement reaction
Answers
Answer:
1 Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions in which the reactants absorb heat energy from the surroundings to form products. ... Physical processes can be endothermic as well – Ice cubes absorb heat energy from their surroundings and melt to form liquid water
2 When a combination reaction occurs between a metal and a non-metal the product is an ionic solid. An example could be lithium reacting with sulfur to give lithium sulfide. When magnesium burns in air, the atoms of the metal combine with the gas oxygen to produce magnesium oxide.
3 balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products. In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction
4 displacement reaction is the one wherein the atom or a set of atoms is displaced by another atom in a molecule. For instance, when iron is added to a copper sulphate solution, it displaces the copper metal. A + B-C → A-C + B. The above equation exists when A is more reactive than B.
