Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to identify the type of reaction that allows a more reactive metal to replace a lesser reactive metal from its compound. The options given are "Decomposition" and "Displacement." ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Decomposition Reaction**: This type of reaction involves a single reactant breaking down into simpler products. For example, when potassium chlorate (KClO3) is heated, it decomposes into potassium chloride (KCl) and oxygen (O2). - **Displacement Reaction**: In this reaction, a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound. For example, when zinc (Zn) reacts with sulfuric acid (H2SO4), zinc displaces hydrogen (H) because it is more reactive. ...
