In decomposition, two or more reactant combine to form one product only.
For us to accurately determine what compound
this is, additional info must be given. However I can suggest two compounds
which have molecular mass of about 30.07 g/mol.
1. It could be NO or nitric oxide.
The molecular mass is 16 + 14= 30 g/mol
But if we search the exact weight, it is 30.01 g/mol
2. It could also be (CH3)2 or ethane.
The molecular mass is 2*12+ 6*1= 30 g/mol
But if we search the exact weight, it
is 30.07 g/mol.
<span>So we could say it more likely to to be (CH3)2 </span>
If you were to compare the mass of the products and reactants in a reaction, you would find that the mass of the products is <span>equal to the mass of the reactants.</span>
Balance each one by adding electrons to make the charges on both sides the same:
Sn--> Sn2+ + 2 e-
Ag+ + 1 e- --> Ag
Now, you have to have the same number of electrons in the two half-reactions, so multiply the second one by 2 to get:
2 Ag+ + 2 e- --> 2 Ag
Now, just add the two half reactions together, cancelling anything that's the same on both sides:
2 Ag+ + Sn --> Sn2+ + 2 Ag
And you're done.
