Question

Which of the following is a product formed when \(Ag_2O\) decomposes?

\(Ag_2\\
O\\
O_2\\
AgO\)

Answer 1

decomposition reaction is when a single compound breaks down into two or more \(elements\). Does that help?

Answer 2

I was thinking it would be \(Ag_2O \rightarrow Ag_2+O\) but I can only select one option

Answer 3

Silver oxide would decompose into elemental silver and oxygen right?

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

oxygen is a diatomic molecule, O2

Answer 6

Oh, so it would be the 3rd one right?

Answer 7

yeah i think so

Answer 8

2Ag2O ---> 4Ag + O2

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

oxygen is diatomic, and it would therefore decompose into O\(_2\)
