C

Decomposition is of this form: A becomes B+C ... so after the reaction, the element A DECOMPOSES into two smaller elements, B and C.

Synthesis is the opposite: B+C becomes A AFTER THE REACTION.

Hope that helps :))

Answer: c) Decomposition reactions are essentially the opposite of synthesis reactions

Explanation:

1. Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Example: K_2CO_3\rightarrow K_2O+CO_2

2. Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which fuel is reacted with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

Example:  CH_4+O_2 \rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

3. Single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution.

Example: Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2

4. Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.

Example: K_2O+CO_2\rightarrow K_2CO_3  

Thus synthesis ad decomposition are opposite chemical changes as decomposition is breaking of one reactant to form multiple products and synthesis is formation of one product from multiple reactants.

Answer:

As the temperature of the water increases, the time needed for the dye to spread decreases. This is because the kinetic energy between the liquid particles increases, therefore helping the dye to dissolve and spread throughout the water.
