Question

Question 12
Write one equation each for decomposition reactions where energy is supplied in the form of heat, light or electricity.

Answer 1

In the presence of heat:
${\text{CaCO}}_3\text{(s)}\to \text{CaO (s)}+{\text{CO}}_2\text{(g)}$

In the presence of sunlight:
$2\text{AgCl (s)}\to 2\text{Ag(s)}+{\text{Cl}}_2\text{(g)}$

In the presence of electricity:
$2{\text{H}}_2\text{O (l)}\to 2{\text{H}}_2\text{(g)}+{\text{O}}_2\text{(g)}$
