Question

The reaction 2fe + 3cl2 → 2fecl3 is an example of a _____ reaction.

Answer 1

When a non-metal and metal react together it creates a ionic bond.

Answer 2

Answer: Synthesis reaction

Explanation:

1. Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.

Example: $2Fe+3Cl_2\rightarrow 2FeCl_3$

2. Double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.  

Example: $2NaOH(aq)+(NH_4)_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2NH_4OH(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)$

3. Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which fuel is reacted with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

Example:  

$C_6H_{12}O_6+O_2 \rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

4. Single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution.

Example: $Zn+2HCl\rightarrow ZnCl_2+H_2$

5. Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Example: $Li_2CO_3\rightarrow Li_2O+CO_2$
