Question

use the reaction to answer the question.

which type of reaction is shown?

(1 point)

decomposition

combustion

displacement

Explanation:

Combustion reactions involve a substance reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy. In the given reaction, \(C_3H_8\) (propane) reacts with \(O_2\) to form \(CO_2\), \(H_2O\), and energy, which is characteristic of a combustion reaction. Decomposition reactions involve a single compound breaking down into simpler substances. Displacement reactions involve one element replacing another in a compound.

Answer:

combustion
