Q1 decomposition reaction can be defined as a chemical reaction in which one reactant breaks down

into two or more products.General representation of the reactionWhere AB is the reactant and A and B
are the product molecules.Example: Decomposition of zinc carbonate produce zinc oxide and carbon
dioxide gas.

(I)The reaction 2Pb(NO3)2 → 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2 is a type of _______reaction.

(a) displacement(b) double decomposition(c) decomposition(d) none of the above.

(ii)The correct expression for decomposition of silver chloride to silver and chlorine is(

a) AgCl2(s) → Ag(s) + 2Cl(g)(b) 2AgCl(s)→ 2Ag(s) + Cl2(g)(c) AgCl2(s) → Ag(s) + Cl2(g)(d) AgCl(s) →
Ag(s) + Cl(g)
(iii)Ferrous sulphate on heating gives reddish-brown residue of ferric oxide. This is due to(a)
decomposition(b) displacement(c) combination(d) none of the above
(Iv)
The electrolytic decomposition of water gives H2 and O2 in the ratio of
(a) 1 : 2 by volume
(b) 2 : 1 by volume
