If a reaction has only one reactant, it is a decomposition reaction.
A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant yields two or more products.
The general form for a decomposition reaction is
A → B + C
An example is the decomposition of water:
2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂
The independent variable of an experiment is the thing you change. In this case, what we are changing will be the temperature. This will allow us to find the...

1 Answers 1 viewsWe need (i) a stoichiometric equation........ $Pb(NO_3)_2 +Delta rarr PbO(s)+2NO_2(g)+1/2O_2(g)$ This simply must be known; nitrates undergo thermal decomposition to give oxide and nitric oxide and dioxygen gas. And (ii)....
1 Answers 1 viewsYou have the equation: $2AuCl_3 rarr 2Au + 3Cl_2$ (the which would probably rely on electrochemical reduction). There are $(64.0*g)/(303.33*g*mol^(-1))$ $=$ $0.211$ $mol$ $AuCl_3$. By the of the reaction, you...
