Lots of compounds decompose when heated enough so too most metal oxides (it depends partially on the atmosphere surounding the compound as well).

What metal oxides decompose when heated?

Some metal oxides that decompose when heated include lead(II) oxide (PbO), mercury(I) oxide (Hg2O), and copper(II) oxide (CuO). When heated, these metal oxides break down into their respective metal and oxygen gas.


What is thermol decomposition?

Metal carbonates decompose when heated, to form an oxide. For example: Calcium + Oxygen = Calcium carbonate oxide Some carbonates decompose more easily than others, in other words, it happens at a lower tempreture.


Can Mercury oxide be decomposed?

Mercury oxide can be decomposed, and in general, any chemical will decompose at a sufficiently high temperature.


When heated solid silver oxide decomposes into what element?

When heated, solid silver oxide will decompose into silver metal and oxygen gas. The chemical equation for this reaction is: 2Ag2O(s) → 4Ag(s) + O2(g).


What metal forms a red oxide when heated?

Iron forms a red oxide when heated. This red oxide is commonly known as rust.


What metal forms a black oxide when heated?

copperCopper (cupric) oxide is produced. Therefore, copper is the metal that produces a black oxide when heated.


Heat nitrates what happen?

If the nitrates are of alkali metals, they decompose into Nitrites and Oxygen:NO3- --Δ--> NO2-+ O2If the nitrates are of other metals, they decompose into Metal oxides, Nitrogen dioxide and Oxygen:NO3- --Δ--> O2- + NO2 + O2


Does copper oxide decompose when heated?

Yes, copper oxide decomposes when heated to high temperatures, typically above 800°C, into copper and oxygen. This process is a thermal decomposition reaction.

When Mercury oxide is heated it forms?

When Hg2+ (mercury oxide) is heated it creates both Hg (liquid mercury) and O2 (oxygen gas)


Magnesium will not decompose when heated to form magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide?

Magnesium will actually decompose when heated to form magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide. This is a common chemical reaction where magnesium reacts with oxygen from the air to form magnesium oxide, and if there is any carbon present, it can also react to form carbon dioxide.
