1. Which of the following is a synthesis reaction? (2 points)

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2

CaCO3 → CaO + CO2

2AgNO3 + Zn → 2Ag + Zn(NO3)2

Verified Answer :

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O since two elements created a compound, in this case water.

Answer: The correct answer is \(2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O\)

Explanation:

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction in which two smaller substances combine together to form a large single compound.

\(A+B\rightarrow AB\)

From the given options:

Option A:  \(2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O\)

This is a synthesis reaction and only one product is forming.

Option B:  \(2H_2O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O+O_2\)

This is a decomposition reaction.

Option C:  \(CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2\)

This is a decomposition reaction.

Option D:  \(2AgNO_3+Zn\rightarrow 2Ag+Zn(NO_3)_2\)

This is a single displacement reaction.

Thus, the correct answer is \(2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O\)
