Q.1MCQeasyImportantTypes of reactions

A reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a single product is called a:

  • A. Decomposition reaction
  • B. Combination reaction
  • C. Displacement reaction
  • D. Neutralisation
View the correct answer

Correct option: B — Combination reaction

Combination (or synthesis) joins reactants into one product, e.g. C + O₂ → CO₂.

Q.2MCQeasyImportantBalancing equations

Why must a chemical equation be balanced?

  • A. To make it look neat
  • B. Because mass is conserved in a chemical change

Rusting of iron is mainly:

  • A. A physical change only
  • B. Oxidation of iron in moist air
  • C. A displacement of water
  • D. Photosynthesis
View the correct answer

Correct option: B — Oxidation of iron in moist air

Iron combines with oxygen (and moisture) to form hydrated iron oxide — oxidation.

Q.4Short answereasyImportantTypes of reactions

View the correct answer

A decomposition reaction splits one compound into two or more products. Example: heating limestone CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂, or electrolysis of water.

Look for heat, light or electricity as the energy that breaks the reactant.
