  <span>An example of spontaneous decomposition is that of hydrogen peroxide, which will slowly decompose into water and oxygen: 

2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 
Carbonates will decompose when heated, a notable exception being that of carbonic acid, H2CO3. Carbonic acid, the "fizz" in sodas, pop cans and other carbonated beverages, will decompose over time (spontaneously) into carbon dioxide and water 

H2CO3 → H2O + CO2 
Other carbonates will decompose when heated producing the corresponding metal oxide and carbon dioxide. In the following equation M represents a metal: 

MCO3 → MO + CO2 
A specific example of this involving calcium carbonate: 

CaCO3 → CaO + CO2 
Metal chlorates also decompose when heated. A metal chloride and oxygen gas are the products. 

2 MClO3 → 2 MCl + 3 O2 
A common decomposition of a chlorate to evolve oxygen utilizes potassium chlorate as follows: 

2 KClO3 → 2 KCl + 3 O2</span>

Drinking alcoholic or caffeinated beverages increases urine output more than drinking an equivalent amount of water.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

A) ADH secretion decreases. B) Urine osmolarity decreases.

Explanation:

Antidiuretic Hormone or ADH is responsible for the reabsorption of water through the kidneys.

A) Drinking alcoholic and/or caffeinated beverages decreases the release and effect of ADH so the water does not get absorbed as much as it should, which in turn results in more urination.

B) Osmolarity is a term used to express the concentration of a solution in terms of a certain particle. Since less ADH secretion results in more water being in the urine, this lowers the concentration of the urine. So urine osmolarity would be decreased.

I hope this answer helps.
