AI Generated Solution

To write the balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of copper (II) nitrate upon heating, follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants and Products The reactant is copper (II) nitrate, which has the chemical formula \( \text{Cu(NO}_3\text{)}_2 \). Upon heating, it decomposes to form: - Copper oxide (black), with the formula \( \text{CuO} \) - Oxygen gas, with the formula \( \text{O}_2 \) - A brown gas, which is nitrogen dioxide, with the formula \( \text{NO}_2 \) ...
