Question

What Is Decomposition Reaction ???​

Answer 1

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds. These reactions often involve an energy source such as heat, light, or electricity that breaks apart the bonds of compounds.

This can be represented by the general equation: AB → A + B.

Examples of decomposition reactions include the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen, and the breakdown of water to hydrogen and oxygen.

Photo decomposition reaction - When decomposition reaction is carried out by using sunlight energy

• 2AgCl => 2Ag + Cl2

Thermal decomposition reaction - When decomposition reaction is carried out by heating

• CaCO3 => CaO + CO2

Electrolytic decompostion reaction - When decomposition reaction is carried out by passing electricity

• 2NaCl => 2Na + Cl2

• 2H2O => H2 + O2
