in English it is basically breaking something down using heat
---------------
Thermal decomposition is a chemical reaction of decomposition under the effect of high temperature: the compound breaks down into other substances when it is heated.
For example: copper(II) sulfide when heated produces copper + sulfur dioxide

What is made by thermal decomposition in a kiln?
Calcium Oxide (also known as quicklime)
What are three types of chemical reactions?
The three types of chemical reactions are: synthesis, decomposition, and replacement.
What pure substance can be broken down by heat?
Carbon into carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide
What is the temperature of water decomposition?
Purely thermal decomposition of water begins around 1800 degrees Kelvin at 1 ATM. By about 2500 degrees Kelvin, approximately 50% of the water is in a molecular configuration other than H2O. By approximately 3500 Kelvin, nearly 100% of the water has decomposed into atomic H and O.
Salt dissolved in water would be an example of what?
Water is a product of burning, neutralization reaction, thermal decomposition, etc.
Thermal decomposition and decomposition temperature-is it refer to the same things?
Thermal decomposition is the process by which chemical bonds are broken in the presence of heat. Decomposition temperature is the temperature at which thermal decomposition occurs, which differs for different compounds.
If you break a compound down by using heat it is called?
Solids melt on heating. A2. But if you are thinking of the destruction of the material, perhaps pyrolysis is what you seek.
How is a decomposition reaction done?
A method is the thermal decomposition of a compound.
How is limekiln used to carry out thermal decomposition of limestone?
The thermal decomposition has the following equation: CaCO3 --------CaO + CO2
When a substance is heated what is it called?
Thermal Decomposition
Can thermal decomposition of water be reversed?
yes but not easily
Can you separate magnesium oxide by thermal decomposition?
yes
What happens to the oil molecules when it is heated?
Thermal decomposition
What is NaClO3 --NaCl O2?
This is a reaction of thermal decomposition.
Which metals are extracted from their ores by thermal decomposition?
siliconMagnesiumIronNickelCopperGoldSilver
What agent cause the fireworks of chemical change?
Burning and thermal decomposition of fireworks are thermal changes.
What is a property of a decomposition reaction?
Decomposition reactions always have one complex reactant and two or more simpler products.
