Question

Complete and balance the following equations:

BaTeO4⋅3H2O(s)⟶Δ

Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer 1

Solution :-

The given reaction equation is the decomposition reaction.

In the decomposition reaction the single compound is reacted to give two or more than two products.

When the hydrate solid is heated then it breaks of the water of hydration and gives off it as vapor.

The hydrate compound is heated to give off the water in the form of vapor and anhydrous solid remain as the product of the reaction.

Following balanced equation shows the products of the reaction.

BaTeO4.3H2O(s) -------- > BaTeO4(s) + 3H2O(g)
