Question

Why is decomposition reaction different from combination reaction
And give an equation for this reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

: In a combination reaction two or more substances are combined to form new substance while in the decomposition reaction one substance decomposes into two or more substances. Hence, the decomposition reactions are called opposite of combination reactions.

Decomposition reaction CaCO3 (s) ⇨ CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

Combination reaction H2 (g) + Cl2 ⇨ 2HCl (g)

Answer 2

Answer:

It is different

Explanation:

In a combination reaction two or more substances are combined to form new substance while in the decomposition reaction one substance decomposes into two or more substances. Hence, the decomposition reactions are called opposite of combination reactions.

Decomposition reaction CaCO3 (s) ⇨ CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

Combination reaction H2 (g) + Cl2 ⇨ 2HCl (g)
