Consider the equation CO2 ---> C+ O2. What type of reaction is this?

synthesis
decomposition
single displacement
double displacement

Well you can immediately rule out a and d because if a metal were to lose or gain protons, then it would become a different element all together. the answer here is b because the positive symbol with a number refers to how many electrons the metal can give away to become stable.

Pcl5 + 4 h2o = h3po4 + 5 hclthe ratio is 1: 5 for  pcl  and hcl, 1 mole of pcl produces 5 moles of hclmolecular weight of pcl5 is: 31 + (5 x 35.5) = 208.5above we have 75.5 / 208.5 = 0.36 moles so this will produce0.36 x 5 = 1.81 moles of hcl.
