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 \(CxHy\)) reacts with oxygen (\(O_2\)) to produce water (\(H_2O\)) and carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)). 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".
