Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The provided reactions are to be classified as combination, decomposition, or combustion reaction.
Concept introduction:
A chemical reaction is a change in which one or more reactants reacts to form products.
Decomposition reactions are the reactions that involve the breakdown of a larger compound leading to the formation of two or more simpler molecules.
Combination reactions are the reactions that involve the combination of smaller and simpler molecules to form a larger molecule.
Combustion reactions are the reactions that involve the burning of a hydrocarbon in the presence of oxygen leading to the formation of carbon dioxide and water.
