Assign the following reaction to one of the reaction classifications given in the response list: K₂CO₃ $\rightarrow$ K₂O + CO₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given reaction can be broken down into two separate reactions: 1. K₂CO₃ ➞ K₂O + CO₂ (decomposition) 2. K₂O + CO₂ ➞ F1F1F1S1➝F1F1F10 (exchange) Therefore, the overall reaction is a combination of a decomposition and exchange reaction. However, since we need to assign the entire reaction to one of the given classifications, the best choice is A, which represents the initial decomposition step.
