Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the given processes is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
A
Reactants are written in left side of chemical reaction and products are written in right side of chemical reaction.
In a balanced chemical reaction, the number of atoms on both sides of the reaction is the same. Thus, the masses of the reactantareequal to the masses of the product.
Thistype of reaction in which theheating is decomposed to form more than one different product from a single reactant is known as a decomposition reaction.
For example:
Here, X is the reactant and Y and Z are the two different products.
