Thermal decomposition


What is heat of reaction of Diphosphorus Pentasulfide?

If you wanted to, you could ask what the heat of formation is of a given compound such as diphosphorus pentasulfide, but if you want to know about a heat of reaction, you have to specify a reaction. A compound is not a reaction.


True or false when a bond is broken in a chemical reaction heat energy is released?

It is true that when bonds are broken there is chemical reaction. Then heat energy is released.


How do particles heat up?

Whenever direct heat is given to any kind of particles/materials, an exothermic reaction occurs. When an exothermic reaction occurs, heat is released. This is what causes the particles to heat up.


What is the chemical reaction that uses heat to decompose an compound?

Heat can be used to break compounds because there is a chemical reaction that takes place and it causes the particles in the compound to break


What is the type of heat reaction which occurs when heat is given off by the reaction?

Heat is released during an exothermic reaction.


What chemical change occurs so that heat is given off?

this occurs in an exothermic reaction


What reaction occurs when chemical bonds between atoms are broken?

Energy is absorbed, hence it is an endothermic process. The two atoms shared energy. Breaking them apart means they need energy replaced, which is taken from atmospheric heat.


Can melting happen when a compound is being formed?

yes if there is heat involved in the reaction


What do you call a reaction that breaks down a compound using heat?

Thermal decomposion


What chemical leavening agent reacts with both moisture and heat to create carbon dioxide gas?

Double-acting baking powder. The first reaction occurs in the presence of moisture, and the second reaction occurs when heat is applied.


What principle of chemistry states that if a chemical reaction occurs in stages then the heat of each step will equal the total heat of the reaction as if it had occurred in one step?
