1. Decomposition Reactions begin with:
compound →
a) Metal oxides: Some metal oxides decompose to yield the free metal plus oxygen
HgO(s) →
b) Metal carbonates decompose to yield metal oxides and CO2
СаСОз (s) >
c) Metal bicarbonates decompose to yield metal carbonates, CO2 and water
NaHCO3(s) →
d) Metal chlorates decompose to yield metal chlorides and oxygen
KCIO3(s) →
2. Combustion Reactions begin with:
hydrocarbon + oxygen →
The products of combustion are ALWAYS carbon dioxide and water.
C3H8 + O2 →
C6H6 + O2 →
