Question

1)Write a balanced equation for the decomposition reaction described, using the smallest possible integer coefficients. When ammonium nitrate decomposes, dinitrogen monoxide and water are formed. 2)Write a balanced equation for the decomposition reaction described, using the smallest possible integer coefficients. Pure water decomposes to its elements. 3)Write a balanced equation for the decomposition reaction described, using the smallest possible integer coefficients. When sodium nitrate decomposes, sodium nitrite and oxygen are formed.

Explanation / Answer

1)the eqn When ammonium nitrate decomposes, dinitrogen monoxide and water is NH4NO3 = N2O + 2 H2O 2)Pure water decomposes to its elements 2H2O --> 2H2 + O2 3)the eqn When sodium nitrate decomposes, sodium nitrite and oxygen is 2 NaNO3(s) ---> 2 NaNO2(s) + O2(g)
