This is the third time this question is being asked.

OK, one more time. Look at the reactants and decide what type of reaction you have.

If reactants are 2 separate elements = synthesis
(combine the two elements into one compound)

If reactant is only one compound = decomposition
metal carbonates form metal oxides + CO2
metal hydroxides form metal oxides + water
acids decompose into water and non-metal oxides

If the reactants are one element + one compound = single replacement (exchange a metal element for the metal in the compound; exchange a non-metal element for the nonmetal in the compound)

If the reactants are two compounds = double replacement
(exchange the two metals in the two compounds)

If the reactants are a hydrocarbon + oxygen = combustion
(a hydrocarbon is a compound of carbon and hydrogen)
The products are water and CO2.

The only tricky one is #3 - it looks like double replacement but is actually synthesis. Combine the two reactants to make a common acid.
