Can you write a synthesis reaction with 3 reactants on one side with a single product on the other (e.g., A + B + C → ABC)?
1 Answer
The production of group 1 and group 2 hydrogen carbonates are synthesis reactions that produce a single product from three reactants.
Group 1 hydrogencarbonates
(M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs)
The reaction above happens first and then:
(M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs)
Group 2 hydrogencarbonates
(M = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba)
Note that these bicarbonates exist in solution only, and when they are boiled, the reaction reverses, and the metal bicarbonate decomposes into the metal carbonate and water, and
