When a compound decomposes to give two or more simpler substances, it is a decomposition reactions e.g. calcium carbonate on heating decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂↑ Calcium carbonate Calcium oxide Carbon dioxide
When a compound decomposes to give two or more simpler substances, it is a decomposition reactions e.g. calcium carbonate on heating decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
(i) Magnesium burns in oxygen to form magnesium oxide. 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO + Heat (ii) Quick lime reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + Heat
(i) Magnesium burns in oxygen to form magnesium oxide.
2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO + Heat
(ii) Quick lime reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide
CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + Heat
