O A. Single replacement
O B. Double replacement
O C. Composition aka synthesis
O D. Decomposition
O E. Organic combustion

D (Decomposition)

Explanation:

This reaction is a decomposition reaction because one substance (NaNO3) is being separated into two substances (NaNO2 and O2). Alternatively, you could use the process of elimination. The reaction can't be single/double replacement because there's only one reactant, it can't be synthesis because substances are being broken down, not formed, and it can't be combustion because O2 is a product, not a reactant, and CO2 and H2O aren't being produced, as is common with combustion reactions.

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
