Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions from (i) to (v):
Equations must always be balanced. The numbers of atoms of each type involved in a chemical reaction are the same on the reactant and product sides of the equation.
In a combination reaction, two or more substances combine to form a new single substance. In a decomposition reaction, a single substance decomposes to give two or more substances. When an element displaces another element from its compound, a displacement reaction occurs. Reactions also involve gain or loss of oxygen or hydrogen by substances. Oxidation = gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen. Reduction = loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen.
(iii) Identify the correct chemical reaction.
(3)
Barium chloride reacts with aluminium sulphate to give aluminium chloride and a precipitate of barium sulphate.
