Question

Describe in words the chemical reaction represented by the following chemical

equation: 2NO, — 202 + N2||​

Answer 1

Answer: nitrogen dioxide produces oxygen and nitrogen

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Decomposition reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

2NO —> O2 + N2

The above equation clearly indicates decomposition because a single reactant (NO) produces two products (O2 and N2). Decomposition reaction is a reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or compound as seen in the equation above.
