Study Notes

Chemical Decomposition Reactions

A chemical decomposition reaction occurs when a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
Example 1: Slaked lime, applied to building walls, reacts slowly with carbon dioxide in the air to form a thin layer of calcium carbonate. This is a decomposition reaction as calcium carbonate is formed from slaked lime and carbon dioxide.
Example 2: Heating mercuric oxide leads to its decomposition into the elements mercury and oxygen.
