When H2O is heated it becomes a liquid (water)and than a gas (steam).This happens as a substance is heated the particles start to vibrate and therefore reducing the force of attraction between each particle. As the substance reaches a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius the solid changes state to a liquid. As the substance is given more heat the particles vibrate more and as they reach a temperature of 100 degrease Celsius the force of attraction between each particle is lost and the liquid becomes a gas which diffuses in the surroundings.

When NaCl is heated the substance splits up in two sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). Sodium is realised as a liquid and chlorine as a green gas. This happens due to the variations in their specific heat capacity. This process is known as combustion. If the substance is heated over u Bunsen flame the flame becomes yellow due to the presence of sodium which has a tendency to turn flames yellow.

When MgSO4 is heated the substance is first split in MgSO2 and O2 is realised. As heating is continued the substance becomes MgS.

Combination of HCl and NaOH?

When hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are combined in water, they react to form water (H2O) and sodium chloride (NaCl), which is table salt. The reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat. The equation for this neutralization reaction is: HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O.

What is the decomposition equation for Epsom salt?

The decomposition equation for Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate heptahydrate) is: MgSO4·7H2O -> MgSO4 + 7H2O. When heated, Epsom salt loses its water molecules, leaving behind anhydrous magnesium sulfate.
