Question
Choose a chemical reaction that is used in industry, research, or nature. DO NOT USE the photosynthesis process or the cellular respiration process. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are not single chemical reactions; they are each a series of chemical reactions. For the reaction that you choose: 1) Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction (include the phases). 2) What is/are the reactant(s)? 3) What is/are the product(s)? 4) Why is this reaction important in either industry, research, or nature?
The image illustrates four different types of chemical reactions using a visual representation of molecules composed of colored spheres labeled with letters.

1. **Synthesis Reaction:**
   - Left Side: A single blue sphere labeled "A" and a single red sphere labeled "B" are shown separately with a plus sign between them.
   - Right Side: The spheres "A" and "B" are shown connected together.
   - Description: This diagram represents a synthesis reaction where two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex compound (A + B → AB).

2. **Decomposition Reaction:**
   - Left Side: A molecule composed of a blue sphere "A" and a red sphere "B" connected together.
   - Right Side: The spheres "A" and "B" are separate with a plus sign between them.
   - Description: This diagram shows a decomposition reaction where a complex molecule breaks down into simpler parts (AB → A + B).

3. **Single Replacement Reaction:**
   - Left Side: A molecule with a blue sphere "A" and red sphere "B" connected, along with a separate green sphere "C".
   - Right Side: The blue sphere "A" is now connected to the green sphere "C" with the red sphere "B" shown separately.
   - Description: This diagram illustrates a single replacement reaction where one element replaces another in a compound (AB + C → AC + B).

4. **Double Replacement Reaction:**
   - Left Side: Two molecules: one with a blue sphere "A" and red sphere "B" connected, and another with green sphere "C" and yellow sphere "D" connected.
   - Right Side: The blue sphere "A" is now connected to the yellow sphere "D", and the green sphere "C" is connected to the red sphere "B".
   - Description: This diagram depicts a double replacement reaction in which components of two compounds exchange places to form two new compounds (AB + CD → AD + CB).

These illustrations provide a clear visual representation of basic chemical reactions, helping to understand how atoms or groups of atoms rearrange during chemical processes.
