Question

What type of chemical reaction will occur when iron (III) hydroxide is heated and forms new products?

Answer 1

Decomposition

Step-by-step explanation:

A decomposition reaction is a type of reaction in which a compound is broken down into its constituent elements sometimes under the influence of heat.

When iron (III) hydroxide is heated,new products are formed according to the equation; 2Fe(OH)3 -----------> Fe2O3 + 3H2O.

This is a thermal decomposition reaction.
