Question
Chapter 21, Problem 22E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To determine the group 2 metal carbonatewhich is least stable with respect to decomposition.
Concept introduction:
The term chemical decomposition or breakdown refers to the separation of a single compound into its two or more simpler compounds. It is just opposite to that of synthesis of chemical. It can occur due to temperature or pressure or any other condition.

Given pieces of Zn and Al, and amounts of ZnSO4 and Al(SO4)3 solutions, what combinations of these four substances would you make to illustrate that Zn is less reactive than AL?
Balance each of the following reactions, and identify the type of reaction:
C2H4(g)+O2(g)Δ→CO2(g)+H2O(g)
The breaking of the O-O bond in peroxydisulfuryl
difluoride (FO,SOOSO,F) gives FO,SO:
(FO2SO)2 2 2 FO2SO
The compound on the left of this equation is a colorless
liquid that boils at 67.1°C. Its vapor, when heated to
about 100°C, turns brown as the product of the reaction
forms. Suppose that, in a sample of the vapor, the intensity
of the brown color doubles between 100°C and 110°C
and that the total pressure increases only by the 2.7%
predicted for an ideal gas. Estimate AH° for the preceding
reaction.
