Question #4fed1

Answer 1

Synthesis and Decomposition are inverse reactions.

To synthesize means to bring together to build.
To decompose means to break apart to destruct.

An example of a synthesis reaction would be the formation of ammonia.

This takes place in a basic reaction of

`A + B -> AB`

`N_2 + 3H_2 -> 2NH_3`

An example of decomposition would be the breakdown of potassium
chlorate.

This takes place in a basic reaction of

`AB -> A + B`

`2KClO_3 -> 2KCl + 3O_2`

I hope this was helpful.
