Writing Equations for Aqueous Ionic
Reactions
When solutions of silver nitrate and sodium
chromate are mixed, brick-red, solid silver
chromate (Ag2CrO4) forms.

Decomposition Redox Reaction
In a decomposition redox reaction, a
compound forms two or more products, at
least one of which is an element.
Thermal Decomposition: When the energy
absorbed is heat, the reaction is called a
thermal decomposition. (A Greek delta, above
the yield arrow indicates strong heating is
required.)
Many metal oxides, chlorates, and
perchlorates release oxygen when strongly
heated.
