Answer: a)
: Decomposition
b)
: double displacement
c)
: Synthesis (Combination)
d)
: redox
Explanation:
Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

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

Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place in one single reaction. The oxidation number of one element increases and the oxidation number of other element decreases.

KI-starch paper allows the detection of strong oxidizers such as nitrite. It is used here to control diazotization of 4-nitroaniline. Nitrite oxidizes potassium iodide in order to form elemental iodine which reacts with starch to a blue-violet complex. With KI-starch paper, enough sodium nitrite is added to produce nitrous acid, which <span>then will react with 4-nitroaniline to form a diazonium salt.</span>
