Do you understand the principle behind naming reactions this way?
When A + B ==> C it is a synthesis reaction. Synthesis means making something and you are adding two things to make one thing.
C==> A + B is the reverse of synthesis. It is a decomposition reaction. One thing becomes more than one.
A + BC ==> B + AC is a single replacement. A replaced B.
AB + CD ==> AC + BD is a double replacement. The two compounds (AB and CD just changed places; that is, A replaced C and D replaced B.
Now you know which yours is.
