Answer: Chemical Decomposition is the process of breaking down chemical species into simpler species.
The following given general equation can represent the Chemical Decomposition reaction:
AB = A + B
where AB are reactants and
A and B are the products
Following are some examples of decomposition reactions:
- In the process of Electrolysis of water, it gives hydrogen and oxygen
- Electrolysis of silver bromide gives silver and bromine.
- Electrolysis of Carbonic acid gives carbon dioxide and water.
- Breakdown of ferric hydroxide into ferric oxide and water
- Potassium Chlorate turns into potassium chloride and other products as oxygen.
- The thermal decomposition of phosphoric acid produces diphosphoric acid and water.
And there are many more such examples.
