Maya made this picture to represent a chemical reaction: Which of the following statements best explains the type of chemical reaction represented by Maya's picture?

It is neither a synthesis reaction nor a decomposition reaction because two reactants form two products.

It represents a decomposition reaction because two reactants break apart and form two products.

It is neither a synthesis reaction nor a decomposition reaction because the total mass of the products is less than the total mass of the reactants.

It represents a synthesis reaction because the same atoms are present in the reactants and products.

It is neither a synthesis reaction nor a decomposition reaction because two reactants form two products.

Explanation:

This reaction would be considered a single replacement reaction.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.

the objects have the same charge.
