1/17 CxHy+O_(2)... H_(2)O+CO_(2) Double replacement Decomposition Combustion Single Replacement

The given chemical equation is a representation of a combustion reaction. In a combustion reaction, a hydrocarbon (represented by ) reacts with oxygen ( ) to produce water ( ) and carbon dioxide ( ). The other options provided are not applicable to this reaction. A double replacement reaction involves the exchange of ions between two compounds. A decomposition reaction involves a single compound breaking down into two or more simpler substances. A single replacement reaction involves one element replacing another element in a compound. Therefore, the correct answer is "Combustion".
