Answer

### Decomposition

Explanation

## Step 1: Identify the type of reaction based on products and reactants### A reaction that results in more products than reactants generally increases the number of substances, which often occurs in decomposition reactions.## Step 2: Rule out other reaction types### Single Replacement reactions involve the exchange of elements but do not necessarily produce more products than reactants. Synthesis reactions combine reactants to form a single product. Combustion reactions involve the burning of substances, usually producing a specific set of products.
