Chapter 22, Problem 40E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To write an equation of $\text{Hg}{\left({\text{NO}}_3\right)}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{s}\right)$ to produce ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)$ when heated.

Concept introduction:

A process in which chemical conversion of one set of chemical substances to other chemical substance takes place is known as chemical reaction.

It is a symbolic representation in which substances which are written on right hand side is known as reactant, whereas substances which are written on left hand side are known as product. Together is known as chemical reaction.
