Thermal means heat. Decomposing is the process of breaking down. Thermal decomposition is a chemical reaction that happens when a compound breaks down when heated. When sodium hydrogencarbonate is ...

The reaction of zinc metal with iodine shows direct combination, decomposition, recrystallization of sublimed I2, and electrolysis.

Decomposition of carrion, however, provides a unique opportunity for scientists to investigate how nutrients cycle through an ecosystem. Many people might ask, "Why is this subject important?" ...

The reaction of hydrogen peroxide with potassium iodide is demonstrated in a tall cylinder. Saturated potassium iodide is added to a mixture of soap, glycerin, water, and hydrogen peroxide. Oxygen and ...

Iron oxide, aluminum, and a catalyst are placed in a flowerpot. The reaction is extremely exothermic resulting in molten iron and aluminum dripping into sand below the flowerpot. The demonstration ...

The research team has developed a new non-precious metal catalyst based on low-cost cobalt-iron. This catalyst demonstrates excellent ammonia decomposition performance at a low expense, maintaining ...
