Question

Identify the type of chemical reaction $\underset{\mathrm{Calcium}\mathrm{oxide}}{\mathrm{CaO}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Silicon}\mathrm{dioxide}}{{\mathrm{SiO}}_2\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Calcium}\mathrm{metasillicate}}{{\mathrm{CaSiO}}_3\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}$

Answer 1

Combination reaction:

1. Two or more compounds mix in this reaction to generate a single new product having characteristics that are completely distinct from the parent compounds.
2. The formation of new bonds is involved in combination reactions, and this process releases a lot of energy in the form of heat.
3. Calcium oxide combines with silicon dioxide to give calcium metasilicate which is completely different from calcium oxide in nature.

Therefore, the given reaction is an example of a combination reaction.
