Answer:

First, balance the half-reactions

Second, equalize the electrons

Third,add two reaction equations to get final answer

Explanation:

For example

H₂C₂0₄ + MnO⁻₄ ---------->CO₂+Mn²⁺

(i) Balancing the half reactions

H₂C₂O₄-------->2CO₂+2H⁺+2e⁻

5e⁻ +8H⁺+MnO₄⁻----------->Mn²⁺+4H₂O

(ii)

Equalizing the electrons

5H₂C₂O₄--------->10CO₂+10H⁺+10e⁻  ---here there is a factor of 5

10e⁻+16H⁺+2MnO₄⁻--------->2Mn²⁺+8H₂O -----here there is a factor of 2

(iii)

Add the two where electrons and some Hydrogen ions will cancel out

5H₂C₂O₄+6H⁺+2MnO₄⁻---->10CO₂+2Mn²⁺+8H₂O

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.
