A sample of Magnesium nitrate is heated strongly in a test tube. Which set of products is released during this thermal decomposition mechanism?
Q1. A sample of Magnesium nitrate is heated strongly in a test tube. Which set of products is released during this thermal decomposition mechanism?
Answer: Magnesium oxide, Nitrogen dioxide, and Oxygen
Explanation: Group IIA nitrates decompose into metal oxides and NO2; lithium nitrate is tempting as it behaves similarly despite being a Group IA metal.
