ln your textbook, read about synthesis,combustion, decomposition,and replacement
reactions.

Assume that Q, T, X, and Z are symbols for elements. Match each equation in Column A
with the reaction type it representsin Column B.
ColumnA Column B

1.Q+XZ->X+QZ a. decomposition
2. Q + Z+QZ b. double-replacement
3.QT+Q+T C. single-replacement
4. QT + r<Z-> QZ + XT d. synthesis
