Types of Chemical Reactions

The video explains the reaction between oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) to form nitric oxide (NO). It describes this as a combination or synthesis reaction, where two substances combine to form a new compound. The video also classifies it as a combustion reaction due to the involvement of oxygen, which typically releases heat, making it exothermic. The video concludes by summarizing the discussed reaction types.

What type of reaction occurs when O2 and N2 combine to form NO?

• Decomposition

• Combination or Synthesis

• Single Replacement

• Double Replacement

Why can the reaction between O2 and N2 be considered a combustion reaction?

• It forms a precipitate

• It involves oxygen and releases heat

• It produces light

• It involves a metal

What is a characteristic of an exothermic reaction?

• Absorbs heat

• Releases heat

• Produces gas

• Forms a solid

Which of the following is NOT a type of reaction discussed in the video?

• Synthesis
