What is a synthesis reaction?

• A synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction where two or more substances combine to form a single product.

• A synthesis reaction is a process where substances are mixed without any chemical change.

• A synthesis reaction involves the exchange of ions between two compounds.

How do you balance a synthesis reaction equation?

• Count only the total number of molecules on each side.

• Ignore the number of atoms and focus on the charge balance.

• Use equal signs to separate reactants and products.

• Adjust coefficients to ensure the number of atoms for each element is equal on both sides of the equation.
