Which of the following is a combustion reaction? Key Concept: Reaction types. Three reaction types are decomposition, combination, combustion. Decomposition occurs when a single compound breaks up into two or more compounds. Combination reactions occurs when two compounds become a single compound. Combustion occurs when a compound reacts rapidly with oxygen. With carbon containing compounds carbon dioxide and water are often produced. A 2 HgO(s) → 2 Hg(l) + O2(g) B MgO(s) + CO2(g) → MgCO3(s) C CaO(s) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s) D C2H5OH(l) + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(l)

Question
  1. Which of the following is a combustion reaction?

    Key Concept: Reaction types. Three reaction types are decomposition, combination, combustion. Decomposition occurs when a single compound breaks up into two or more compounds. Combination reactions occurs when two compounds become a single compound. Combustion occurs when a compound reacts rapidly with oxygen. With carbon containing compounds carbon dioxide and water are often produced.
      A
    2 HgO(s) → 2 Hg(l) + O2(g)
      B
    MgO(s) + CO2(g) → MgCO3(s)
      C
    CaO(s) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s)
      D
    C2H5OH(l) + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(l)
