Water decomposes into Oxygen and Hydrogen gases, each of which is a 2 atom molecule:
H20 -> H2 + O2
BUT that's not balanced - there's Oxygen 'appearing' from nowhere on the right side so to balance it
(2) H2O -> H2 + O2
But now we have 4 Hydrogens on left and only two on right
(2) H2O -> (2)H2 + O2
4 hydrogens and 2 oxygen - > 4 hydrogens and 2 Oxygens
Balanced!

What is electrolytic decomposition reaction?
a chemical decomposition reaction produced by passing an electric current through a solution containing ions is known as electrolytic decomposition reaction
Is a candle-burning a combinaion decomposition or replacement reaction?
Neither. It is a combustion reaction.
Salt dissolved in water would be an example of what?
Water is a product of burning, neutralization reaction, thermal decomposition, etc.
What is a general form of decomposition reaction?
Ab->a+b
How are synthesis and decomposition reactions alike?
Synthesis and decomposition reactions are opposites. Synthesis: A + B -> C Decomposition: C -> A + B They both involve three elements or compounds, one of which is a combination of the other two. An example: N2O5 -> NO2 + NO3 Is a decomposition reaction.

Write the balanced equation for the electrolysis of water. What type of reaction is this?
water itself is not a good electrolyte its electrolysis is performed in presence of anacid usually sulphuric acid, on electrolysis water produces hydrogen and oxygen gas. 2H2O = 2H2 + O2
Is P4O10 plus 6H2O ---- 4H3PO4 an equation of decomposition reaction?
No, a decomposition is when one substance break apart into multiple compounds. In this reaction P4O10 and water combine to make phosphoric acid. If the reaction were reversed, it would be a decomposition reaction.
what do we call the chemical reaction that uses an electrical current to decompose a compound?
electrolytic decomposition reaction.
A chemical reaction in which compounds break up into simpler constituents is a reaction?
A chemical reaction that breaks down a compound into simpler products is a decomposition reaction. For example, when electrolyzed, water will be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen gas. Decomposition reactions involve one reactant and multiple products.
