Question

how identify whether it is a synthesis reaction or combination reaction in an equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

combination reaction (also known as a synthesis reaction) is a reaction where two or more elements or compounds (reactants) combine to form a single compound (product). Such reactions may be represented by equations of the following form: X + Y → XY. The combination of two or more elements and form one compound is called combination reaction. | a) Between elements | C + O2 → CO2 | Carbon completely burnt in oxygen yields carbon dioxide |- | b) Between compounds | CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2 | Calcium oxide (lime) combined with water gives calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) |- | c) Between elements and compounds | 2CO + O2 → 2CO2 | Oxygen combines with carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide is formed. |}

Answer 2

Answer:

if it is a synthesis reaction, we have only one reactant

if it is a combination reaction we have only one product
