Solution
Decomposition reaction and double decomposition reaction:
- Decomposition reaction: A compound decomposes into two or more new substances.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{orange}}{[NH4]2Cr2O7}->\underset{\text{green}}{Cr2O3} + 4H2O + N2}\] - Double decomposition: “Two substances exchange their ions and two new substances are produced one of which is insoluble i.e. ppt.”
\[\ce{AB + CD->AD + CB}\]
\[\ce{CaCl2 + Na2CO3->\underset{\text{ppt.}}{CaCO3} + 2NaCl}\]
