They are kind of opposite processes. Chemical synthesis is execution of chemical reactions to make products. Like you take two substances, you put them together, they react and you have new a substance. For example.

here Sodium and Chlorine react to make a new substance which is Sodium Chloride.
Chemical decomposition is process of seperating a substance to different substances. There is a substance by a reaction this substance becomes two substances, Like : XY -> X+Y For example :
Here’s the math for your answer, which is 3.3 L HCl
Answer:
I
Explanation:
Among the halogens given in this problem, iodine has the lowest attraction for electrons.
This property is known as electronegativity.
Electronegativity is expressed as the relative tendency with which the atoms of the element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.
- As you go down the periodic group the electronegativity decreases.
- The most electronegative element on the periodic table is fluorine.
- Down the group, iodine is the least electronegative
- This is due to the large size of its atom.

Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Oxidation means lose of electrons and increase of positive charge so the part which oxidized in this equation is Zn(s) because it converted to Zn²⁺ (i.e. lost two electrons)
