What type of chemical reactions is represented by the following equations?
(i) A + BC → AC+ B
(ii) A +B → C
(iii) X → Y+ Z
(iv) PQ + RS → PS + RQ
(v) A2O3 + 2B → B2O3 + 2A

(ii) A +B → C

(iv) PQ + RS → PS + RQ
(v) A2O3 + 2B → B2O3 + 2A

(i) Displacement reaction, since A replaces B to combine to C giving AC.

(ii) Combination reaction since A and B combine to give a product C which is different from both the reactants.

(iii) Decomposition reaction, Xdedcomposes to give two components Y and Z.

(iv) Double displacement reaction, since P replaces R to give PS while Q displaces S to give RQ simultaneously.

(v) Displacement reaction, since B replaces A from A2O3 to give B2O3.
