Give 5 example of decomposition reaction in our day to day life
Answers
Decomposition reactions are chemical reactions in which a more complex molecule breaks down to make simpler ones. There are three types of decomposition reactions:
Thermal decomposition reactions;
Elctrolytic decomposition reactions;
Photo decomposition reactions.
Thermal decomposition - such reactions are usually endothermic, since energy in the form of heat is required to break the bonds of the more complex molecule. Examples include
CaCO3(s)+heat→a(s)+CO2(g) - calcium carbonate decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide when heated;
2KCl3(s)+heat→2Kl(s)+3O2(g)
- potassium chlorate decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen gas when ehated;
2Fe(OH)3+heat→Fe2O3+3H2O
-ferric dioxide decomposes into ferric oxide and water when heated;
Electrolytic decomposition - such reactions occur when an electric current is passed through an aqueous solution of a compound. Two classic examples are the electrolysis of water
