Represent the decomposition of aluminum oxide using the same number of atoms of molecules as are
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Decomposition of aluminium oxide forms  aluminium atoms and  oxygen atoms.

Explanation:

<u>Decomposition reaction:</u>

When a single compound break down into two or more simpler products.

For example "AB" reactant undergoes decomposition to form "A" and "B" products.

The chemical reaction is as follows.

AB\rightarrow A+B

The given compound is aluminium oxide.

The decomposition reaction of aluminium oxide is a follows.

Al_{2}O_{3}\rightarrow Al+O_{2}

The balanced equation is as follows.

2Al_{2}O_{3}\rightarrow 4Al+3O_{2}

Therefore, Decomposition of aluminium oxide forms aluminium atoms and  oxygen atoms.

explain why benzoic acid is insolube in water at room temperature but is soluble in 2.5M NaOH solution
Alik [6]

Answer:

It is known generally that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents. Based on the structure of benzoic acid, it comprises the non-polar C6H6 group and polar COOH group. Based on the structure, in benzoic acid, the nonpolar hydrocarbon outweighs and influences the polar part as nonpolar, due to which benzoic acid is not soluble in water.

On the other hand, benzoic acid produces sodium salt benzoic acid when it reacts with 2.5 M sodium hydroxide, this salt is ionic. Generally, the ionic compounds are soluble in water. Therefore, the salt of benzoic acid gets dissolved in water. Hence, benzoic acid is soluble in the solution of sodium hydroxide.
