Part a
look at the window on the left side of the simulation. it shows the reaction a+
bc ab + c. how does this reaction differ from the reaction by which
ammonia is synthesized?

A + BC → AB + C "single replacement reaction" while ammonia synthesis is a "synthesis reaction".

Explanation:

A single replacement reaction, is a reaction by which one element replaces an/other element in a compound.

It can be represented generically as: A + B-C → A-C + B This will most often occur if A is more reactive than B, thus giving a more stable product.

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product. The reactants may be elements or compounds, while the product is always a compound.

Example: ammonia synthesis,

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇄ 2NH₃
