You know that each carbon atom can take as much as 4 bonds with other elements. A hydrogen can only take one bond, while an oxygen can take 2. Thus, the chemical formula of H₂CO may be written as H₂C=O which is acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is an aldehyde. It has a higher vapor pressure because aldehydes have much stronger bonds than hydrogen bonds in alcohols. Hence, it would need a lot energy, thus higher vapor pressure, to break the bonds of an aldehyde than it would for an alcohol.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when silver (I) oxide decomposes into silver metal and oxygen ga
PolarNik [594]

Explanation:

The grey powder of silver ( I ) oxide i.e.  Ag₂O  breaks down to give a metal called the silver metal and an odorless , colorless gas , which is the oxygen gas .

The balanced chemical reaction is as follows -

Silver oxide ----->  Silver + oxygen

Ag₂O   ------>   Ag  (s)  +  O₂  (g)

The balanced reaction is -

2 Ag₂O (s)  ------>  4 Ag  (s)  +  O₂  (g)
