Question

Which of the following on thermal decomposition yields oxide ?

• A. $Mg(N{O}_3{)}_2$
• B. $Ca(N{O}_3{)}_2$
• C. $Sr(N{O}_3{)}_2$
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above.

Thermal decomposition is the process in which heat is required.
It is also known as thermolysis.
It is processed in which a compound breaks into two or more products when the heat is supplied.
All of alkaline earth metal nitrate decompose on heating
to give the oxide.
$M(N{O}_3{)}_3\to 2MO+4N{O}_2+O_2$
Where (M = Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba)
