What is an oxidation reaction? Give an example of oxidation reaction. Is oxidation an endothermic or an exothermic reaction? 

Classify the following reaction as a combination, decomposition, displacement or double displacement reaction: 

${\mathrm{CaCO}}_3\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\stackrel{\mathrm{Heat}}{\to }\mathrm{CaO}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)$

Classify the following reaction as a combination, decomposition, displacement or double displacement reaction:

$\mathrm{CaO}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)\to \mathrm{Ca}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_2\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)$ 

Classify the following reaction as a combination, decomposition, displacement or double displacement reaction:  

$\mathrm{Zn}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{CuSO}}_4\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)\to {\mathrm{ZnSO}}_4\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)$

Classify the following reaction as a combination, decomposition, displacement or double displacement reaction:
