H2SO4 + 2NH4OH → (NH4)2SO4 + 2HOH Which of these would be the BEST description of this reaction? A) reduction B) combustion C) neutralization D) single replacement

Respuesta :

For a neutralisation reaction...
Acid + base 》 salt + water....
The above reaction looks much alike so is a neutralisation...
It is certainly not compustion as no oxygen to react and CO2 produced

Answer: C) neutralization

Explanation:

A. Reduction is a type of chemical reaction in which substance is made to gain electrons or gain hydrogen.

Example:

[tex]C_2H_4+H_2\rightarrow C_2H_6[/tex]

B. Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which fuel is reacted with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

Example:

[tex]C_6H_{12}O_6+O_2 \rightarrow CO_2+H_2O[/tex]

C. Neutralization reaction  is defined as the chemical reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water molecule.

[tex]H_2SO_4+2NH_4OH\rightarrow (NH_4)_2SO_4+2H_2O[/tex]

D. Single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution.

Example: [tex]Zn+2HCl\rightarrow ZnCl_2+H_2[/tex]
