Is burning of oxygen combustion or decomposition?

Combustion. Any reaction that has O2 as a reactant is combustion.


What decomposition reaction?

Decomposition reactions are those in which one reactant splits into two or more products. Only those decomposition reaction are redox reactions in which minimum one of the products is an element.Example-2 H2O ---> 2H2 + O2


Which reaction is needed to separate the parts of a compound?

A decomposition reaction takes one reactant and makes multiple products. AB -> A + B


Is Zn H2So4 Zn So4 H2 a decomposition reaction?

If you mean Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2, then no, it is not a decomposition reaction. In decomposition reactions one reactant is broken down into two or more simpler substances. For example, the electrolysis of water, 2H2O --> 2H2 + O2 is a decomposition reaction. The reaction referred to in your question is a double replacement (displacement) reaction. I apologize that the subscripts are not working at this time.


What type of reaction cannot involve a free element as a reactant?

A Decomposition Reaction, Single Replacement Reactions, Double Replacement Reactions and Combustion Reactions...


What type of reaction is H2O plus CO2?

It is synthesis since your adding them together other wise decomposition is breaking them apart
