Answer 1

The classified form of the following reaction should looke like that :$2 H2O (l) 2 H2(g) + O2(g)$. WHat about the name of such reaction, I am pretty sure that it is called decomposition. I bet you have the same in the option list, but next time check it carefully.

Answer 2

Explanation:

When a substance or compound dissociates into two or more new compounds then this type of chemical reaction is known as decomposition reaction.

For example, $2H_{2}O \rightarrow 2H_{2} + O_{2}$

Here, water dissociates into hydrogen and oxygen molecules.

Thus, we can conclude that the given reaction is a decomposition reaction.
