Question

Use the reaction (2KCl to 2k + Cl2) to answer the question
Which type of reaction is shown?
A. decomposition
B. displacement
C. combustion
D. combination

Answer 1

The reaction \( 2 \text{KCl} \rightarrow 2 \text{K} + \text{Cl}_2 \) is a **decomposition reaction**. In this type of reaction, a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products.

So, the correct answer is:
**A. decomposition**.
