The head of a matchstick has a great deal of chemical energy stored in it, including combustible substances that produce a flame when rubbed against a suitable surface. ... As the combustible materials burn, some of the chemical energy is transformed into heat energy, and some is transformed into light energy. Hope this helps
The balanced equation for the decomposition of solid lead iv oxide is as follows: 2PbO2 = 2PbO + O2.
Lead IV oxide decompose to give lead ll oxide and oxygen. Lead iv oxide is thermally unstable and it usually decomposes into oxygen and lead ll oxide when heated. Lead ll oxide is more stable than lead lV oxide.
Autoionization Reactions are those reactions in which ions or molecules ionizes spontaneously without adding any external reagent.
For Example,
Autoionization of water.
H₂O + H₂O ⇆ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
Autoionization reaction of Methanol is shown below,
