Answer:

It breaks down into multiple elements

Explanation:

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in witch a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds. These reactions often involve an energy source such as heat, light, or electricity that breaks apart the bonds of compound

A decomposition reaction is when a compound breaks down into elements or smaller compounds.

For example, 2 moles hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, could decompose into 2 moles of water and one mole of oxygen.

2 H2O2 = 2 H2O + O2

Well, we might as well try a similar question. Magnesium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas and an aque
Andrei [34K]

Answer: Magnesium Mg

Explanation:

Oxidization is the process by which a substance either gains oxygen or losses electrons.

The chemical reaction of the above is denoted by,

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) -----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Mg went from a 0 to a +2 state which would mean that it lost electrons.

It was therefore oxidized.

Solid silver chloride, AgCI(s), decomposes to its elements when exposed to sunlight Write a balanced equation for this reaction
Mrac [35]

Answer: The coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Decomposition of silver chloride is represented as:

2AgCl(s)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cl_2(g)

Thus the coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

Sometimes Combination reaction takes place sometimes decomposition and sometime replacement.. Can someone say me the conditions
Rina8888 [55]

Whenever any substance goes under chemical change so any of the reaction will happen either both or multiple compounds will combine to produce combination reaction either one compound will decompose itself into 2 or more compounds or elements and last one is replacement reaction the either reaction is not even going to combination nor decomposition, So when a reaction like that happens it must replacement reaction.

Now the question is what's the condition required for it, so basically a chemical reaction when takes place it depends upon several factor on the basis of which we conclude products. The factors are Temperature,catalyst,reagents, either what is the mechanism of reaction, stability of reactants and stability of products and alot more.

During reaction sometimes gas forms and sometimes not yea and well that also depends on the chemical reactivity and stability of product sometimes product found itself most stable releasing the gas evolving so it's been done itself and sometimes we add catalyst and adjust the reaction to extract that gas and get desirable product manually.

I wrote all i know if sorry if this is not what you're looking for :(
