Thermal Decomposition
Sub units: Decomposition reactions | Thermal decomposition | Catalytic decomposition | Electrolytic decomposition When a substance decomposes, it breaks up into two or more simpler substances. Decomposition can take place in a number of ways: Thermal decomposition Catalytic decomposition Electrolysis Sub units: Decomposition reactions | Thermal decomposition | Catalytic decomposition | Electrolytic decomposition What is the rate of a chemical reaction? The rate of a chemical reaction is how fast the reactants react. How to find the rate of a reaction? In general to find the rate of a reaction, you should measure either the amount of reactant used up per unit of time or the amount of product produced per unit of time. The rate during the reaction does not stay constant, it changes throughout the reaction, its greatest at the start but gets slower as the reaction proceeds.
