To figure out the type of reaction all you have to do is look at the reactants (the stuff to the left of the arrow).

If the reactants are a HYDROCARBON + OXYGEN = combustion (a hydrocarbon is a compound of carbon and hydrogen)
If the reactants are TWO ELEMENTS = synthesis
If the reactant is only ONE COMPOUND = decomposition
If the reactants are ONE ELEMENT + 1 COMPOUND = single replacement
If the reactants are TWO COMPOUNDS = double replacement

#3 is tricky - it looks like it should be double replacement (two compounds) but it is actually synthesis; it forms an acid

You can take it from here, right?
