What type of reaction is represented by the general equation shown below?
XY → X+Y
O A. Double-displacement
O B. Combustion
O
C. Single-displacement
O
D. Decomposition

Respuesta :

Answer:

XY → X + Y general reaction represents a decomposition reaction where a molecule is “broken” in two separate molecules

Explanation:

In a double-displacement reaction two molecules will exchange atoms or group of atoms, and it should look like this:

XY + AB →  XA + YB

In a combustion reaction molecules are reacting with oxygen generating oxides.  

XY + O[tex]_{2}[/tex] → XO + YO

In a single-displacement reaction an atom or a group of atoms in a molecule are replaced by other atoms, and it should look like this:

XY + A → XA + Y
