Synthesis Reactions Practice #1

Select your period 1 2 3 4 7 When iron rusts, it combines with oxygen.In the above rusting reaction, iron is a(n) element. oxygen is a(n) element. Rust is a(n) compound. Rusting of iron is a synthesis reaction because two elements are combined to form a compound. Another name of this reaction is combinationreaction. How could you tell if a reaction is a synthesis reaction? the reactants are two or more separate elements There are two or more products One of the reactant must be oxygen the reactant side contains only 1 compound Type YES or NO to indicate whether the equation represents a synthesis reaction. YES NO NO YES NO YES NO YES NO NO Balance the equation by adding coefficients. 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 Balance the equation by adding coefficients 3 2 4 6 4 6 4 First, work on scratch paper to balance each equation then enter the coefficients. 2 5 2 1 12 8 2 3 2 4 3 16 2 1 4
