Characteristics of Decomposition Reaction. One single reactant and two or more products; Requires energy; Examples of Decomposition Reaction. An example of a decomposition reaction is the breakdown of carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3) to carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H 2 O) [2]. H 2 CO 3 (aq.) → CO 2 (g) + H 2 O (l)
V. Decomposition Reactions A. Decomposition reactions have the form A → B + C 1. They can be recognized because they have only one reactant, which breaks down to produce two or more products. Figure 5.4 - Decomposition reaction B. Examples: 1. 2HgO(s) → 2Hg (l) + O 2 (g) a. This is the reaction that Joseph Priestley used to discover

Feb 8, 2021 · Decomposition Reaction Definition. A decomposition reaction is a chemical reaction with a single reactant that forms two or more products. The general form of a decomposition reaction is: AB → A + B. A decomposition reaction forms smaller molecules, often including pure elements.
Summary. • A decomposition reaction occurs when one reactant breaks down into two or more products. This can be represented by the general equation: AB ! A + B. • Examples of decomposition reactions include the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen, and the breakdown of water to hydrogen and oxygen.
