What type of reaction is represented by the equation Fe + 2HBr --> FeBr2 + H2?
gpt
The reaction is a single replacement reaction.
Explanation: A single replacement reaction, also known as a substitution reaction, is a type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound, resulting in a new compound and the release of a different element. In this case, iron (Fe) replaces hydrogen (H) in hydrogen bromide (HBr) to form iron(II) bromide (FeBr2) and hydrogen gas (H2).
