What are examples of thermal decomposition |
| Answer» A\xa0thermal decomposition reaction\xa0occurs when the heat is applied to a compound causing it to\xa0decompose\xa0(break down) into multiple different chemical substances. An\xa0example\xa0is when baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is heated. 2NaHCO3(s)→CO2(g)+H2O(g)+Na2CO3(s)Examples of thermal decomposition .\tMany metal carbonates can take part in thermal decomposition reactions. For example,\xa0copper\xa0carbonate breaks down easily when it is heated:\tcopper\xa0carbonate →\xa0copper\xa0oxide +\xa0carbon dioxide.\tCopper\xa0carbonate is green and\xa0copper\xa0oxide is black. | |
