Decomposition reaction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The chemical reaction in which two or more products are formed from a single reactant is called a decomposition reaction.
Example : When calcium carbonate `(CaCO_3)` is strongly heated, it undergoes decomposition to from calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide `(CO_2)`.
`underset(underset("carbonate")("Calcium "))(CaCO_(3(S)))overset(Delta)rarrunderset(underset("oxide")"Calcium")(CaO_((s)))+underset(underset("dioxide")"Carbon")(CO_2uarr)`
