Question

give an example of decomposition reaction. Describe an activity to illustrate such a reaction by heating

Answer 1

The example of decomposition reaction is as follows:

When calcium carbonate (CaCo3) is heated it gets decomposed and produces calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

 The reaction can be written as,

CaCO3→heat→CaO + CO2

Similarly, when ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) is heated, it gets decomposed to sulphur dioxide (SO2), ferric oxide ( Fe2O3) and sulphur trioxide (SO3) FeSO4 →heated→Fe2O3 + SO2 + SO3

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

When calcium carbonate (CaCo3) is heated it gets decomposed and produces calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

The reaction can be written as,

CaCO3→heat→CaO + CO2
