Solution

The correct option is B Decomposition reaction
On heating, blue coloured copper(ll) nitrate decomposes to form new products as copper oxide, oxygen gas and nitrogen dioxide gas. The equation for this reaction can be written as:
2Cu(NO3)2(s)heat2CuO(s)+O2(g)+4NO2(g)
(blue) (black) (brown)

Hence the correct option is C.
