  • Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
  • Describes the basics of decomposition reactions, how to identify them, predict the products and balance the chemical equation. Two examples are also shown, decomposition of sugar and hydrogen peroxide.
    A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical change of one set of chemical substances to another. Chemical reactions encompass changes that only involve the positions of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds between atoms. In a chemical reaction there is no change to the nuclei of the atoms. They can often be described by a chemical equation. Chemical equations are used to graphically illustrate chemical reactions. They consist of the chemical formulas of the of the reactants on the left and those of the products on the right. They are separated by an arrow (→) which indicates the direction and type of the reaction. The most common types of chemical reactions are: double replacement, single replacement, combustion, decomposition and synthesis.

      @nivaneh1010 5 років тому +12

      Because when steam is given off that suggest the reaction decomposed into H2O. There are also things you could have gathered from that so for instance, when the sugar turned black that was Carbon at work as Carbon in its natural formation is of course dark.

Something with h2o breaking down will separate h2o from the substance. ClO will split to O2 + (metal)cl. A metal carbonate will contain co3 in the reactant and yield a co2 + (metal)o... a combo of H and O like H2H2 will yield an o2 + (metal)o

    • @stepbystepscience
      @stepbystepscience  9 років тому +5

      Some equations are relatively easy, like many of the double replacement reactions. Others are not so regular and must either "memorized". There are regular patterns, for the decomposition of carbonates and carbonates for example. Here is a good website.
      www.chemteam.info/Equations/Decomposition.html
      You will notice that chlorates (ClO3) often decompose into the metal/nonmetal compound + O2.
      You will notice that carbonates (CO3) often decompose into the metal oxide + CO2.
      Hope that helps a little.

    • @BeautyByIris08
      @BeautyByIris08 9 років тому

      @stepbystepscience  9 років тому +1

      ***** see this website:
      www.chemistryhelp.net/basic-chemistry/complete-and-incomplete-combustion
      It depends on how much O2 is present, normally I would say the products of incomplete combustion are just: H2O and CO. But if there is only a small amount of O2 then the products are usually stated as H2O and C.
      Good luck on the test.

    It would be nice if you explained the reason for each product formed like you explained the first. I got lost after that. ex: why does Na pair with O? why do you form CO2? The rule AB---->A+B is self explanatory with eyes closed. What matters are those special rules (probably the reason we all come here for). Those aren't explained in my book, nor by my professor. That's what I'd suggest, explain the concept, like the rules of the diatomic elements or the decomposition of certain gases. That's the confusion here.

      Great question cocoarecords As a rule, in general, metal carbonates decompose into the metal oxide and carbon dioxide.

    +Brian Swarthout Shouldn't you use padded gloves and a fume hood and googles, and some more gloves??? lol

      @Kaust Shroff, maybe not gloves but at least I should be wearing safety glasses!

    My teacher calls the Diatomic gases "HOFBrINCl" (pronouned Hoff-brink-cle)... I guess BrINClHOF also works...

    if you're going to have a youtube channel about science equations at least explain how to do it?

    What you did is a very bad practice. You work in the lab running an experiment with conc. H2SO4 without gloves. You have the reaction giving off very acidic steam. You should run the experiment in the fume compartment if you cant wear a mask. I can continue to name a few more. Ignoring these safety details overshadowed the knowledge you were trying to pass across. God help the people you train.

    I dont like it when teachers solve a problem and dont state the reason why they did the steps they have done to solve that problem! Its so annoying!

    • @stepbystepscience
      @stepbystepscience  10 років тому +1

      Did I do that? When?, sometimes it is hard to explain every every step.

      Brian Swarthout In the second, third and fourth problem. You don't tell us why the answers aren't like the first problem's answer.
