The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the number of metal oxides that decompose on normal heating from the given oxides: \( \text{Na}_2\text{O}, \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3, \text{PbO}, \text{Ag}_2\text{O}, \text{HgO} \), we will analyze each oxide based on their thermal stability. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Oxides**: We have the following metal oxides: - Sodium oxide (\( \text{Na}_2\text{O} \)) - Aluminum oxide (\( \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 \)) - Lead oxide (\( \text{PbO} \)) - Silver oxide (\( \text{Ag}_2\text{O} \)) - Mercuric oxide (\( \text{HgO} \)) 2. **Assess Thermal Stability**: - **Sodium oxide (\( \text{Na}_2\text{O} \))**: Highly stable, does not decompose on heating. - **Aluminum oxide (\( \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 \))**: Highly stable, does not decompose on heating. - **Lead oxide (\( \text{PbO} \))**: Generally stable, does not decompose on normal heating. - **Silver oxide (\( \text{Ag}_2\text{O} \))**: Decomposes upon heating (around 200-300 °C) to yield silver and oxygen: \[ 2 \text{Ag}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 4 \text{Ag} + \text{O}_2 \] - **Mercuric oxide (\( \text{HgO} \))**: Decomposes upon heating (around 500-525 °C) to yield mercury and oxygen: \[ 2 \text{HgO} \rightarrow 2 \text{Hg} + \text{O}_2 \] 3. **Count the Decomposable Oxides**: From the analysis above, only \( \text{Ag}_2\text{O} \) and \( \text{HgO} \) decompose on normal heating. 4. **Conclusion**: The total number of metal oxides that decompose on normal heating is 2. ### Final Answer: The number of metal oxides that decompose on normal heating is **2**. ---
