Question

Identify the types of the following reaction

P₂O₅(s) → P(s) + 2O₂ (g)

Question options:

	Combustion
	Double Displacement
	Single Displacement
	Decomposition

Expert Solution

Step 1: Explanation of different types of reaction

Combustion reaction : In this type of reaction oxygen reacts with hydrocarbons to give water and carbon dioxide Examples : C_xH_x + O₂ ----> CO₂ + H₂O

Double Displacement : In this type of reaction two elements / substances replace each other

Examples : AB + CD ----> AD + CB

Single Displacement : In this type of reaction only one element/substance replaces another substance Examples : A + BC ----> AC + B

Decomposition reaction : In this type of reaction one substances decompose / breaks into two or more substances Examples : Ca(OH)₂ ----> CaO + H₂O
