Decomposition+II

In a decomposition reaction a more complex substance breaks down into its more simple parts
 * Station 1**

2 H2O à  2 H2 + O2

Representative equation: [] __ STATION 2 __ __Everyday life of decomposition __ A dead human body would be an example of decomposition. After a while the elements of nature would break down the body into its separate parts. For example the weather would eat away at the flesh, animals could feed off that body, insects could decompose the remains. All this is decomposition because the once alive fully complete body breaks down into its individual components. []

Another example of decompositon would be a landfill. The individual pieces of garbage and food break down into smaller particles. They also get covered up and buried and that helps this process due to the insects breaking them down. Need to Make this up Station 4 media type="custom" key="3675235"

Station 5 Hydrogen peroxide  à  Oxygen + Water   H2O2  à  O2 + H2O  Hydrogen peroxide breaks down (decomposes) to Oxygen and Water. Yeast pellets are used to make the process faster and the flame from the match is used to show the oxygen. The type of decomposition is the decomposition of an oxy acid into a non-metallic oxide.
