the following reaction is an example of a ______ reaction.
c₅h₈ + 7o₂ -----> 5co₂ + 4h₂o
combustion
combination
single replacement
decomposition
double replacement

Explanation:

Combustion reactions involve a substance reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water (for hydrocarbon reactants). In the given reaction \(C_{5}H_{8}+7O_{2}\to5CO_{2} + 4H_{2}O\), \(C_{5}H_{8}\) (a hydrocarbon) reacts with \(O_{2}\) to form \(CO_{2}\) and \(H_{2}O\), which is characteristic of a combustion reaction.
A combination reaction would have two or more reactants forming one product. A single - replacement reaction has the form \(A + BC\to AC + B\). A decomposition reaction has one reactant breaking into multiple products. A double - replacement reaction has the form \(AB+CD\to AD + CB\).

Answer:

combustion
