Answer 2

Answer:

Lithium nitrate decomposes into lithium oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen when heated.

Explanation:

• Lithium oxy-salts are heat unstable and breakdown when heated, forming the stable oxide.
• Lithium nitrate decomposes into lithium oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen when heated.
  $\(2 \mathrm{LiNO}_{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{Li}_{2} \mathrm{O}+2 \mathrm{NO}_{2}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\)$
