double decomposition reaction is a chemical reaction where two compounds decomposes or breaks to form two new compounds. Equationwise this reaction forms new substances just by the exchange of their radiclas.

∙ 11y agoA double decomposition reaction is a reaction in which two reactants are both decomposed to from new substances by exchanging their radicals (a radical is a group of atoms of elements which behaves like a single unit and shows one valency).

∙ 9y agoA double decomposition reaction is the opposite of synthesis. A good example is the electrolysis of water that makes hydrogen gas and oxygen.

Is this a synthesis reaction single displacement reaction decomposition reaction or double displacement reaction KNO3-KNO2 plus O2?
decomposition
What type of reaction occurs between MgO and Ca?
double decomposition
What is the opposite of a synthesis reaction?
It would be a catabolic reaction or decomposition reaction.
What is the reverse reaction type of synthesis?
Probable you think to a decompostion reaction.
What type of reaction is Mg O2MgO?
Thermal decomposition. MgCO3(s) ==heat==> MgO + CO2
Is digestion a double decomposition reaction?
Digestion does involve decomposition.
Is this a synthesis reaction single displacement reaction decomposition reaction or double displacement reaction KNO3-KNO2 plus O2?
decomposition
What type of reaction is K Cl - KCl?
its a synthesis reaction.
Different types of chemical reaction?
I believe there are 6... (I'm a chemistry major) Combustion, synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and acid-base.
What type of reaction occurs between MgO and Ca?
double decomposition
what do we call the chemical reaction that uses an electrical current to decompose a compound?
electrolytic decomposition reaction.
Is Zn H2So4 Zn So4 H2 a decomposition reaction?
If you mean Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2, then no, it is not a decomposition reaction. In decomposition reactions one reactant is broken down into two or more simpler substances. For example, the electrolysis of water, 2H2O --> 2H2 + O2 is a decomposition reaction. The reaction referred to in your question is a double replacement (displacement) reaction. I apologize that the subscripts are not working at this time.
What are the two types of double displacement reaction precipitation reaction and?
Neutralization, Double decomposition, Alkylation, Counterion Exchange, Precipitation are all different types of double displacement reactions.
What is the opposite of a synthesis reaction?
It would be a catabolic reaction or decomposition reaction.
Is the process of digestion is a decomposition reaction?
yes,it is a decomposition reaction.
The products in a decomposition reaction?
The products in a decomposition reaction depend on what the reactants are in that decomposition reaction. The products will be different depending on the reactants.
What is the reverse reaction type of synthesis?
Probable you think to a decompostion reaction.
