a combustion reaction involving burning a metal in oxygen

A: a decomposition reaction in which a metal is reduced

Explanation:

HgO is actually the metal Mercury and in the equation Mercury is being decomposed into the elements Hg and O. (the element for Mercury and Oxygen) So the equation they give you is a decomposition.

in chemistry, a solution’s concentration is how much of a dissolvable substance, known as a solute, is mixed with another substance, called the solvent. the standard formula is c = m/v, where c is the concentration, m is the mass of the solute dissolved, and v is the total volume
