A decomposition reaction is a reaction in which the compound is broken up into its constituents.
A decomposition reaction is a reaction in which the compound is broken up into its constituents. When the decomposition is brought about by a catalyst, it is called catalytic decomposition.
Let us look at the catalytic decomposition of the compound potassium trioxochlorate V. in the presence of the catalysts manganese dioxide. The reaction occurs as follows;
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it does change its form. And not all forms of energy are usable and it gets dissipated as heat energy and sound energy. The energy that is wasted cannot be recovered.
