Chapter 8, Problem 41AE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The products of decomposition reaction of zinc oxide have to be given along the balanced formula equation.

Concept Introduction:

Decomposition reactions:  Decomposition reactions are the opposite of a combination reaction because decomposition reaction involves the breaking apart of a substance into simpler substances.  Such a reaction is easy to recognize because there is one reactant and more than one product.

Example:  The reaction of sodium chlorate to sodium chloride and oxygen is decomposition reaction.  The balanced reaction is,

  2NaClO3(s)2NaCl(s)+3O2(g)

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The products of decomposition reaction of tin (IV) oxide have to be given along the balanced formula equation.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The products of decomposition reaction of sodium carbonate have to be given along the balanced formula equation.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The products of decomposition reaction of magnesium chlorate have to be given along the balanced formula equation.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).
