write chemical equation for the following decomposition reactions. Aluminum oxide(s) decomposes when electricity is passed through it.

2Al2O3 (l) ---> 4Al (l) + 3O2 (g)

Explanation:

The reaction is the electrolysis of aluminium oxide. It decomposes aluminium oxide (Al2O3) into aluminium metal (Al) and Oxygen (O2). In this process, aluminium oxide is molten (liquid state) so that ions can move to complete the electricity circuit.

Al2O3 (l) ---> Al (l) + O2 (g)

Balance the equation:

2Al2O3 (l) ---> 4Al (l) + 3O2 (g)

water at room temperature is flowing through a pipe with pressure taps located 10 ft apart along one section of the pipe, which are connected to a mercury (s=13.6) manometer.

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
