Question

Differentiate the following
1. Thermal decomposition & thermal dissociation.
2. Neutralization reaction & a precipitation reaction.
​

Answer 1

1.thermal decomposition & thermal dissociation Thermal decomposition is breaking a compound into two or more elements, or into two new compounds with the help of heat. These reactions are irreversible. Thermal dissociation is breaking a substance into two or simpler substances with the help of heating.

2.A neutralization reaction is a double displacement reaction taking place between the acids and the bases.whereas a precipitation reaction is a double displacement reaction taking place between two aqueous ionic compounds which forms a new insoluble ionic compound.
