B. 4Fe (s) + 3O2 (g) → 2Fe2O3 (s)

C. N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) → 2NH3 (g)

D. 2LiOH (s) + CO2 (g) → Li2CO3 (s) + H2O (l)

    You would know a decomposition reaction occurred if the reactants separated. For example from AB → A+B.

    Now if you look at your options only 1 works out for that equation. Letter A.

    From the compound K2CO3 it split up to K2O + CO2

    It cannot be letter B because synthesis/combination occurred. The same goes for letter C. Letter D, single displacement occurred.

    Again, the answer is A.
