Give one example of a decomposition reaction which is carried out with electricity
Advertisements
उत्तर
When an electric current is passed through acidified water, it decomposes to give hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. This reaction can be represented as:
\[\ce{\underset{Water}{2H2O_{(l)}} ->[Electricity][(Decomposition)] \underset{Hydrogen}{2H2_{(g)}} + \underset{Oxygen}{O2_{(g)}}}\]

What does one mean by exothermic reaction? Give example.
The white solid compound A decomposes quite rapidly on heating in the presence of a black substance X to form a solid compound B and a gas C. When an aqueous solution of compound B is reacted with silver nitrate solution, then a white precipitate of silver chloride is obtained along with potassium nitrate solution. Gas C does not burn itself but helps burn other things.
