Question
Write one equation for decomposition reactions where energy is supplied in the form of heat.
Solution
Decomposition reaction involving absorption of heat,
- \[\ce{\underset{Zinc carbonate}{ZnCO3_{(s)}} ->[\Delta]\underset{Zinc oxide}{ZnO_{(s)}} + \underset{Carbon dioxide}{CO2_{(g)}}}\]
- \[\ce{CaCO3->[heat]CaO_{(s)} + CO2_{(g)}}\]
- \[\ce{2FeSO4(s) ->[heat] Fe2O3(s) + SO2(g) + SO3(g)}\]

What does one mean by exothermic reaction? Give example.
A solid substance P which is very hard is used in the construction of many buildings, especially flooring. When substance P is heated strongly, it decomposes to form another solid Q and a gas R is given out. Solid Q reacts with water with the release of a lot of heat to form a substance S. When gas R is passed into a clear solution of substance S, then a white precipitate of substance T is formed. The substance T has the same chemical composition as starting substance P.
(a) What is substance P? Write its common name as well as chemical formula.
(b) What is substance Q?
(c) What is gas R?
