2C4H10(g)+13O2(g)–>8CO2(g)+10H2o(g)
A.) Combustion.
B.) Single- replacement.
C.) Combination.
D.) Decomposition.
Can you also explain how to do this in VERY simple terms please? I am slow at understanding things.
Thanks!

Combustion. It releases carbon dioxide and water and energy
For a combination reaction, I think only one molecule is created such as Na + Cl–> NaCl
Or O 2 + 2H 2 O → 2H 2 O 2
Single replacement reaction-> A+BC–> AC+B
Decomposition–> AB–>A+B or NaCl–> Na +Cl

I’d go for Combustion, since combustion by definition is reaction where fuel (C4H10) reacts with oxidant (O2), heat is released (that could be noted above the –>, np if it isn’t) and complete chemical conversion. That’s what happens in the equation.
It’s not combination or decomposition, since there is cross-replacement of moleculaes (se, there is nothing composed from elements and nothing decomposed to elements)
It’s not single-replacement, since that would require one element (or ion) passing into compound.

A) Combustion because Carbon dioxide and water are the end products of burning!
