Which chemical equation represents a decomposition reaction? O A. 2C2H6 + 702 + 4CO2 + 6H20
O B. AgNO3 + LiCl → AgCl + LINO3
O C. Ca + MgS → CaS + Mg
O D. 2H20 2H2 + O2

Decomposition reaction D. 2H20⇒ 2H2 + O2

Every chemical reaction involves a compound consisting of reactants and products  

Reactants are compounds that react and form new compounds called products

There are several forms of reactions that can occur, including single replacement, double replacement, synthesis, decomposition, etc.

A. 2C2H6 + 702 ⇒ 4CO2 + 6H20

Combustion : reaction of Hydrocarbon and Oxygen

B. AgNO3 + LiCl → AgCl + LINO3

Double replacement : there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product

C. Ca + MgS → CaS + Mg

Single replacement :one element replaces the other elements of a compound to produce new elements and compounds

D. 2H20⇒ 2H2 + O2

Decomposition : One compound breaks down into 2 components
