Question
Chapter 13, Problem 66AE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Balanced chemical equation for decomposition of water has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Reaction of one compound into two or more components is termed as decomposition reaction. The source of reaction is light or heat that results in the breakage of bonds.
The steps involved to balance an equation are as follows:
1 The unbalanced equation with correct formulas of compounds is written.
2 Atoms on both sides of equation are compared.
3 The atoms are balanced by multiplication with mathematical number to equalize on each side.

- Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been used extensively as dielectric materials in electrical transformers. Because PCBs have been shown to be potentially harmful, analysis for their presence in the environment has become very important. PCBs are manufactured according to the following generic reaction: C12H10+nCl2C12H10nCln.+nHCl This reaction results in a mixture of PCB products. The mixture is analyzed by decomposing the PCBs and then precipitating the resulting Cl asAgCl. a. Develop a general equation that relates the average value of n to the mass of a given mixture of PCBs and the mass of AgCl produced. b. A 0.1947-g sample of a commercial PCB yielded 0.4791 g of AgCl.
