Question

hydrogen iodide gas breaks down into hydrogen gas and iodine gas during decomposition reaction write a skeleton equation for this reaction

Answer 1

Answer;

HI (g) → H₂(g) + I₂(g)

Step-by-step explanation;

• Decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds.
• In decomposition reactions a complex substance breaks down into at least two or more simpler substances. They are opposite of synthesis reactions and may require energy to occur.
• The general formula for these reactions is; AX → A + X

Example; HI (g) → H₂(g) + I₂(g)
