Explanation:

Question 21

Step1: Analyze the reaction type

The reaction is \( 2\text{Na}_2\text{O}
ightarrow 4\text{Na} + \text{O}_2 \). A decomposition reaction is when a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. Here, sodium oxide (\(\text{Na}_2\text{O}\)) decomposes into sodium (\(\text{Na}\)) and oxygen (\(\text{O}_2\)). Also, it's a redox reaction as the oxidation state of Na changes from +1 in \(\text{Na}_2\text{O}\) to 0 in \(\text{Na}\), and O changes from -2 in \(\text{Na}_2\text{O}\) to 0 in \(\text{O}_2\). But the main type here for matching (assuming decomposition is an option, or redox/decomposition). But since the equation is a single compound breaking into elements, decomposition (and redox). But likely the reaction is decomposition (or redox). Wait, the first question is to match the name. Let's see: the reaction \( 2\text{Na}_2\text{O}
ightarrow 4\text{Na} + \text{O}_2 \) is a decomposition reaction (and also redox). So the name of the reaction here is decomposition (or redox). But let's confirm: decomposition is when a compound breaks into simpler substances. So the reaction is decomposition (and redox). But for the dropdown, likely the answer is decomposition (or redox, but let's check the reaction.

Wait, the reaction is \( 2\text{Na}_2\text{O}
ightarrow 4\text{Na} + \text{O}_2 \). This is a decomposition reaction (a single reactant forming multiple products) and also a redox reaction (oxidation states change). But the question is to match the name. So the reaction is decomposition (or redox). But let's proceed.

Step2: Identify the reaction name

The reaction \( 2\text{Na}_2\text{O}
ightarrow 4\text{Na} + \text{O}_2 \) is a decomposition reaction (since one compound breaks into two substances, here elements). Also, it's a redox reaction. But the primary type for the equation is decomposition (or redox). But let's assume the options include decomposition or redox. However, the user's first question is to match, so the answer is decomposition (or redox). But let's check the second question first.

Question 22

Step1: Analyze the reaction

The reaction is \( \text{HCl}(aq) + \text{NaOH}(aq)
ightarrow \text{NaCl}(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) \). An acid-base reaction (neutralization) occurs when an acid (HCl) reacts with a base (NaOH) to form a salt (NaCl) and water (\(\text{H}_2\text{O}\)).

Step2: Eliminate other options

• Precipitation: A precipitation reaction forms a solid precipitate. Here, all products are aqueous (NaCl) or liquid (H₂O), so no precipitate.
• Redox: Redox reactions involve electron transfer (oxidation state changes). In this reaction, the oxidation states of H (+1), Cl (-1), Na (+1), O (-2) remain the same. So it's not a redox reaction.
• Acid-base: HCl (acid) and NaOH (base) react to form salt and water, which is a neutralization (acid-base) reaction.

Answer:

(Question 22):
A. acid-base (the option with "acid-base")

For Question 21, the reaction \( 2\text{Na}_2\text{O}
ightarrow 4\text{Na} + \text{O}_2 \) is a decomposition reaction (and also redox). So the name of the reaction is decomposition (or redox). But since the equation is a single compound breaking into elements, the reaction is decomposition (and redox). So the answer for Question 21 is decomposition (or redox, but likely decomposition or redox. If the options include decomposition, then decomposition; if redox, then redox. But given the equation, it's a decomposition reaction (and redox). So the answer for Question 21 is decomposition (or redox, but let's confirm: the reaction is \( 2\text{Na}_2\text{O}
ightarrow 4\text{Na} + \text{O}_2 \), which is a decomposition reaction (type: decomposition) and also redox. So the name of the reaction is decomposition (or redox). But since the first question is to match, the answer is decomposition (or redox). However, without the dropdown options, we can infer that the reaction is decomposition (and redox). But for the purpose of answering, let's state:
