Consider this reaction: 2HgO→2Hg+O2 . Which of the following is the best explanation for why this reaction is a decomposition reaction?
Question 5 options:

Because it is balanced

Because oxygen is one of the reactants

Because there are two products

Because there is only one reactant

Water ionizes by the equation h2o(l)⇌h+(aq)+oh−(aq) the extent of the reaction is small in pure water and dilute aqueous solutions. this reaction creates the following relationship between [h+] and [oh−]: kw=[h+][oh−] keep in mind that, like all equilibrium constants, the value of kw changes with temperature.

Fugu, also known as puffer fish, is a sushi delicacy that can also be lethal. puffer fish contain a powerful toxin that can kill an adult a few hours after ingestion. sushi chefs who prepare fugu must be specially trained because any contamination of the toxin-free areas of the fish can be deadly. recently this toxin has been put to good use, as scientists have discovered that a purified form of it can treat severe pain in cancer patients. this recent scientific discovery would fall under which area of chemistry? applied biochemistry pure organic chemistry pure physical chemistry applied inorganic chemistry

If a solution is considered basic, then a) the hydroxide ion and hydronium ion concentrations are equal. b) the hydroxide ion concentration is less than the hydronium ion concentration. c) the hydronium ion concentration is greater than the hydroxide ion concentration. d) the hydroxide ion concentration is greater than the hydronium ion concentration.
