To classify the given chemical reaction [tex]\(AB + C \rightarrow CB + A\)[/tex], let's analyze the reaction step-by-step.
1. Identify the reactants and products:
- Reactants: [tex]\(AB\)[/tex] and [tex]\(C\)[/tex]
- Products: [tex]\(CB\)[/tex] and [tex]\(A\)[/tex]
2. Understand the changes taking place:
- The compound [tex]\(AB\)[/tex] is reacting with the element [tex]\(C\)[/tex].
- In the process, the element [tex]\(A\)[/tex] is replaced by [tex]\(C\)[/tex] in the compound, forming [tex]\(CB\)[/tex].
- As a result, [tex]\(A\)[/tex] is released as an individual element.
3. Classify the type of reaction:
- We see that element [tex]\(C\)[/tex] replaces element [tex]\(A\)[/tex] in [tex]\(AB\)[/tex], resulting in the formation of [tex]\(CB\)[/tex] and the releasing of [tex]\(A\)[/tex].
Given these points, this type of reaction, where one element replaces another element in a compound, is best classified as a replacement reaction.
Therefore, the chemical reaction [tex]\(AB + C \rightarrow CB + A\)[/tex] is best classified as a replacement reaction.
