Balancing Chemical Equations and Types of Equations

One of the common chemical weathering agent that affects rocks and soil is carbonic acid (H₂CO₃). It is produced when carbon dioxide reacts with water.

CO₂ + H₂O = H₂CO₃

Which type of reaction is:

2 NaBr + Ca(OH)₂ → CaBr₂ + 2 NaOH

• Synthesis
• Single Displacement
• Double Displacement
• Combustion

Which type of reaction is: C₂H₄ + 3 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 2 H₂O

Which type of reaction is:

2 H₃AsO₄ → As₂O₅ + 3 H₂O

When carbonic acid mixes with rain water and perculates on rocks that contains limestone, it makes the rocks weak forming carbon bicarbonate.

CaCO₃ + H₂CO₃ = Ca(HCO₃)₂

This is an example of which type of chemical reaction?

Sodium phosphate is a common component of rocks. When it reacts to potassium hydroxide, it forms an alkali compound of NaOH and potassium phosphate.
