# Classifying Chemical Reactions

In this section, we will categorize the following chemical reactions based on their types: synthesis, decomposition, single exchange, or double exchange.

### Reaction Examples:

1. **Reaction 3:** 
   \[
   \text{N}_2 \,(\text{g}) + 3\text{H}_2 \,(\text{g}) \rightarrow 2\text{NH}_3 \,(\text{g})
   \]
   - **Type:** Synthesis Reaction
   - **Explanation:** Two or more reactants (\(\text{N}_2\) and \(\text{H}_2\)) combine to form a single product (\(\text{NH}_3\)).

2. **Reaction 4:** 
   \[
   \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \,(\text{aq}) \rightarrow 2\text{C}_2\text{H}_6\text{O} \,(\text{aq}) + 2\text{CO}_2 \,(\text{g})
   \]
   - **Type:** Decomposition Reaction
   - **Explanation:** A single compound (\(\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6\)) breaks down into simpler compounds (\(\text{C}_2\text{H}_6\text{O}\) and \(\text{CO}_2\)).

3. **Reaction 5:** 
   \[
   \text{Ca} \,(\text{s}) + \text{Zn(NO}_3\text{)}_2 \,(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{Ca(NO}_3\text{)}_2 \,(\text{aq}) + \text{Zn} \,(\text{s})
   \]
   - **Type:** Single Exchange Reaction
   - **Explanation:** The calcium (\(\text{Ca}\)) replaces zinc (\(\text{Zn}\)) in the compound \(\text{Zn(NO}_3\text{)}_2\), forming \(\text{Ca(NO}_3\text{)}_2\) and free zinc (\(\text{Zn}\)).

These examples illustrate the different ways elements and compounds can interact in chemical reactions, either by combining, breaking down, or exchanging components.
