Answer:
Examples:
- Photo decomposition is a chemical reaction in which a substance is broken down into simple substances by exposure to light (photons).
- Decomposition of calcium carbonate:Calcium carbonate (lime stone) decomposes into calcium oxide (quick lime) and carbon dioxide when heated. Quick lime is the major constituent of cement.
- Decomposition of potassium chlorate:When heated strongly, potassium chlorate decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen. This reaction is used for the preparation of oxygen.
- If the decomposition is carried out in the presence of manganese dioxide (MnO2), it takes place at a lower temperature. In this case, MnO2 is used as a catalyst.
- Decomposition of ferric hydroxide:Ferric hydroxide undergoes decomposition in the presence of heat, giving ferric oxide and water molecules.
- Decomposition of hydrated oxalic acid:
- Hydrated oxalic acid (H2C2O4.2H2O) decomposes into oxalic acid and water when heated.
- Electrolytic decomposition reaction (Electrolysis) Electrolytic decomposition may result when electric current is passed through an aqueous solution of a compound. A good example is the electrolysis of water.
