Question

give one example of photochemical and thermal decomposition reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

Reactions that occur when heat triggers the breakdown of a chemical compound.

Explanation:

A thermal decomposition reaction occurs when heat is applied to a compound causing it to decompose (break down) into multiple different chemical substances.

An example is when baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is heated

2NaHCO3(s)→CO2(g)+H2O(g)+Na2CO3(s)

Answer 2

Answer:

Photochemical decomposition reactions :-

• 2AgBr-------> 2Ag + Br2

Thermal decomposition reactions :-

• 2KClo3 -------> 2kCl + 3O2
