to form O2 and mercury metal. (b) When copper(II) nitrate
is heated strongly, it decomposes to form copper(II) oxide,
nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen. (c) Lead(II) sulfide, PbS(s),
reacts with ozone to form PbSO4(s) and O2(g). (d) When
heated in air, ZnS(s) is converted to ZnO. (e) Potassium
peroxide reacts with CO2(g) to give potassium carbonate
and O2. (f) Oxygen is converted to ozone in the upper
atmosphere.
