Allen is carrying out reactions in a lab. One of the products in all reactions is found to be either a precipitate, a gas, or water. What is common between all these reactions?
Here are some examples for those type of reactions. Combustion reaction: CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) --> CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) Decomposition reaction: CaCO3(s) ---> CaO(s) + CO2(g)
