Verified Answer :

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A reaction in which an organic compound or substance reacts with oxygen and results in the production of carbon dioxide and water is known as combustion reaction.

These reactions are exothermic in nature.

For example, the given reaction is as follows.

     \(2CH_{4}H_{10}(g) + 13O_{2} \rightarrow 8CO_{2} + 10H_{2}O(g)\)

In this reaction, organic compound \(CH_{4}H_{10}\) reacts with oxygen to yield carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, it is a combustion reaction.

What is a combustion reaction?

A combustion reaction can be defined as an exothermic chemical reaction between physical substances, usually in the presence of an oxygen gas and a hydrocarbon to produce heat, water, light and carbon dioxide.

An example of a combustion reaction is the burning of butane in the presence of an oxygen gas as shown in this chemical equation;

             \(2C_4H_{10}(g) + 13O_2(g) \rightarrow 8CO_2(g) + 10H_2O(g)\)

In conclusion, the type of reaction that is depicted by the above chemical equation is combustion reaction.
