(a)
Interpretation:
The given decomposition reaction needs to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
The reaction in which a single break down into two or more elements is known as decomposition reaction.
(a)

Explanation of Solution
The unbalanced reaction is shown below:
In reactant side, there is one nitrogen atom and in product side there are 2 nitrogen atoms. So, multiply with 2 in reactant side and to balance the Iodine atom, multiply 3 with product side.
The decomposition reaction is shown below:
Nitrogen triiodide is an inorganic compound which decomposed into nitrogen gas and iodine solid.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given decomposition reaction needs to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
The reaction in which a single break down into two or more elements is known as decomposition reaction.
(b)

Explanation of Solution
The unbalanced reaction is shown below:
The decomposition reaction is shown below:
Metal carbonate decomposed into solid of metal oxide and produce carbon dioxide gas.
(c)
Interpretation:
The given decomposition reaction needs to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
The reaction in which a single break down into two or more elements is known as decomposition reaction.
(c)

Explanation of Solution
The unbalanced reaction is shown below:
In reactant side, there are 6 carbon atom and 12 hydrogen atom and in product side there is one carbon atom and 1 H2O molecule. Therefore, multiply with 6 for C atom and H2O molecule to balance the reaction.
The decomposition reaction is shown below:
When glucose decomposed it will form carbon solid and water molecules.
(d)
Interpretation:
The given decomposition reaction needs to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
The reaction in which a single break down into two or more elements is known as decomposition reaction.
(d)

Explanation of Solution
The unbalanced reaction is shown below:
In the reactant side, there are 4 NH3 molecule and in product side there is one NH3 molecule. Therefore; multiply with 4 to balance the reaction.
The decomposition reaction is shown below:
Tetrammine copper(II) sulphate decompose into copper sulphate and produce ammonia gas.
(e)
Interpretation:
The given decomposition reaction needs to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
The reaction in which a single break down into two or more elements is known as decomposition reaction.
(e)

Explanation of Solution
The unbalanced reaction is shown below:
In the reactant side; there are 1 sodium atom and in the product side there are 3 sodium atoms. So, multiply with 3 in the reactant side to balance the sodium atom and to balance the nitrogen atom multiply with 5/2 in the product side.
The decomposition reaction is shown below:
When sodium azide decompose it will form solid of sodium nitride and nitrogen gas.
