Which type of reaction takes place when two simple substances combine together to form one substance?

Question 2 Exercise

Next

Answer:

Solution:

When two or more substances (element or compounds) react together to combine and form a new product, which is a compound with new properties. They synthesize to form a new substance, hence it is called a synthesis reaction.

Example: C+O_2\ →\ CO_2

"hello welcome to Lido learning today we are going to see a question state fy direct combination reaction is called a synthesis reaction in the last videos we have seen what is the direct combination reactions means now we are going to see why it is called a synthesis reaction so we know that combination reaction i am going to explain your direct combination reaction when c plus o2 gives rise to co2 so here c and o2 gives rise to co2 when two compounds combine together two compounds combined together it is giving a new one so it is synthesizing a new one there is a new two atoms combined together it was giving a new one synthesizing so it is said to be synthesis reaction so you can see you know the right combination reaction two or more substances or elements or a compounds react chemically it was reacted chemically and it gives out to combine together to form a new product it is a product you have got a new product as co2 so which is a compound with a new properties it has a different properties as this it will not have the properties of this case clear the dual properties of co2 so they synthesize in the form of a new substance synthesis in the form this was synthesized synthesized form of a new substance so it is a synthesis reaction we also say is synthesis reaction i think now you got it so when two uh when two elements or compounds combine together to form a new substance with a different different chemical and physical properties it is said to be a co2 it is a synthesis reaction now you can check out the solution here i given the definition over here when two or more substances elements or it may be compounds react together to combine and form a new product here the new product is formed right so it is said to be uh with the new properties it has a new properties reserved to be a synthesized to form a new substance called synthesis reaction i hope you have understood what is a synthesis reaction thank you for watching video"

A mixture is created when two or more different substances are physically combined and can be separated back into its original substances.

Examples of mixtures are:

a bowl of different kinds of candy, a pile of different kinds of leaves, steel, sugar syrup

There are two types of mixtures

• heterogeneous mixtures look like their distinct components (a bowl of different kinds of candy or a pile of different kinds of leaves can be sorted into groups consisting of the same type of candy or leaves)
• homogeneous mixtures look like only one component (metal alloys are usually made of a metal and non-metallic substance—steel is made from iron and carbon, sugar syrup is made from a solution of sugar in water)

A chemical reaction occurs when two or more substances are combined to form a new substance and cannot be separated back into its original substances.

Examples of chemical reactions are:

baking a cake (its combination of different ingredients combines, with heat impact, to make something new) or breaking a glow stick (the chemicals combine to create light)

We can observe a chemical reaction is occurring because the substances

• change color
• give off a smell
• change physical state (liquid to gas or liquid to solids)
• create or take away heat
• emit light

Bath Bombs

Bath bombs contain citric acid and sodium bicarbonate.

When bath bombs are added to water, a chemical reaction occurs to produce sodium citrate, carbon dioxide, and water.

Observe the bath bombs before adding water. What does it look like? Feel like? How does it behave? After adding water, take the same observations.

Materials

Makes 12 mini muffin-sized bath bombs

• 1 C baking soda
• 1/2 C citric acid
• 1/2 C corn starch
• ½–1 C Epsom salts
• 1–2 Tbs. water
• 1–2 Tbs. melted coconut oil
• essential oils (optional)
• 3–4 drops food coloring (optional)
• mica powder and polysorbate (optional)
• a small bouncy ball or toy to put as a surprise in the bath bomb (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt in a glass bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, mix water, coconut oil, and any of the optional materials.
3. Slowly add the liquid mixture to the solid mixture until the solid mixture feels like damp sand and holds its shape.
4. If using a bouncy ball or toy, place it in the bottom of each mold (muffin tins or paper cups work well) and cover with bath bomb mixture.
5. Pack bath bomb mixture in mold, and (if using) around the bouncy ball or toy.
6. Let the bath bombs dry in their molds for at least 24 hours.
7. Add a bath bomb to your bath water and watch the chemical reaction happen!

Classifying chemical reactions

Chemical reactions are changes in which new substances are formed. Magnesium burning in oxygen to form magnesium oxide is a chemical change. On the other hand, ice melting to form liquid water is a physical change because ice and water are the same chemical substances.

What happens during chemical reactions?

Chemical changes can be identified by looking for changes and the release or absorption of heat, i.e. the reaction vessel gets hot or cold. For example, when magnesium, a silvery metal, burns, a brilliant white light is seen, heat is released and a white powder is formed.

Evidence of chemical reactions
You cannot see the atoms and molecules breaking bonds and forming new bonds, but you can see the results of these changes. A cake rising in the oven, gas bubbles forming in an antacid drink or sausages burning on a BBQ are all evidence of chemical change.

There are four key indicators to watch for in deciding if a chemical reaction has occurred:

Colour change - has a new substance formed with a different colour? In this example blue litmus paper turns red when placed in acid.
Gas formation or consumption - Are gas bubbles being released from a solution? Antacid tablets in water release carbon dioxide gas.
Formation of a precipitate - Has a solid been formed from a mixture of solutions?
The release or absorption of energy - All chemical reactions involve a change in energy. Most release energy to their surroundings, heating the vessel and air around the reaction, but a few absorb energy cooling their surrounds.

Types of chemical reactions
Although there are millions of different chemical reactions, many occurring as complex sequences of events, there is some pattern to the chemistry involved. Most simple chemical reactions can be divided into four types based on the number of reactants and how the reactant molecules and atoms behave.

The four types of chemicals reactions are:

1. Decomposition reactions -This reaction occurs when a single substance breaks down, or decomposes, into two or more simpler substances. One example is electrolysis of water when an electric current is being passed through water forming hydrogen and oxygen gas.

2. Synthesis reactions - These are also known as combination or addition reactions. Synthesis occurs when two or more simple substances combine to form one more complex substance. Synthesis is the opposite to addition reactions. Rockets are propelled by combining hydrogen and oxygen to form water!

3. Single replacement reactions - In these reactions, an atom or group of atoms replaces another atom or group of atoms in a compound to form a new compound. Copper plating a coin or knife blade is an example of single replacement.

4. Double replacement reactions - More complex than single replacement reactions, these reactions involve two pairs of ions in solution swapping partners to form two new compounds. Acid/base reactions are double replacement reactions.
