If a hydrocarbon reacts with a diatomic molecule of oxygen would it be a combustion, synthesis, or single or double replacement reaction?

Asked by emeraldisles (1949points) January 14th, 2012

How can I tell which is which? I’m thinking its either combustion or synthesis because of two elements reacting with a third. Help me figure it out?
