Interpretation:
To solve and identified for thermal decomposition of given statement of
Concept Introduction:
Chemical equilibrium: The term applied to reversible
Kp: The equilibrium constant calculated from the partial pressures of a reaction equation. It is used to express the relationship between product pressures and reactant pressures. It is unites number, although it relates the pressures.
Thermal decomposition: This type of reaction caused by heat, or decomposition of substance is the temperature at which the substance chemically decomposes.
