Question

Magnesium oxide is obtained from the decomposition of magnesium sulphate.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Decomposition reaction: A decomposition reaction is a chemical reaction in which one reactant breaks down into two or more products.

$\mathrm{AB}\to \mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}$

• Types of decomposition reaction- Thermal Decomposition Reaction.

-Electrolytic Decomposition Reaction.
-Photo Decomposition Reaction.

• Magnesium oxide is obtained from the decomposition of magnesium sulphate.

$\underset{\mathrm{magnesium}\mathrm{sulphate}}{2{\mathrm{MgSO}}_4}\stackrel{∆}{\to }\underset{\mathrm{magnesium}\mathrm{oxide}}{2\mathrm{MgO}}+\underset{\mathrm{sulphur}\mathrm{dioxide}}{2{\mathrm{SO}}_2\uparrow }+\underset{\mathrm{oxygen}\mathrm{gas}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2\uparrow }$

Thus, the given statement is true, Magnesium oxide is obtained from the decomposition of magnesium sulphate.
