A) heating a pot of water on a stove
A + B → AB: ✔ synthesis
AB → A + B: ✔ decomposition
Hydrocarbon + O2 → CO2 + H2O: <span>✔ combustion</span>
AB + CD → AD + CB: <span>✔ replacement</span>
<span>The metal that would more easily lose an electron would be potassium. It is more reactive than sodium. Also, looking on the periodic table, </span><span>from top to bottom for groups 1 and 2, reactivity increases. So, it should be potassium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
