What type of chemical reactions take place when:(a) a magnesium wire is burnt in air?(b) lime-stone is heated?(c) silver bromide is exposed to sunlight?(d) electricity is passed through water?(e) ammonia and hydrogen chloride are mixed?

a) Magnesium wire is burnt in air: Combination reaction.
$2Mg+O_{2}\rightarrow 2MgO$

b) lime-stone is heated: Decomposition reaction.
$CaCO_{3}\rightarrow CaO+CO_{2}$

 c) silver bromide is exposed to sunlight: Decomposition reaction.
$2AgBr\rightarrow 2Ag+Br_{2}$

d)  electricity is passed through water: Decomposition reaction.
$2H_{2} O\rightarrow 2H_{2} +O_{2}$

e) ammonia and hydrogen chloride are mixed: Combination reaction.
$NH_{3} +HCl\rightarrow NH_{4} Cl$
