A decomposition reaction occurs when one reactant breaks down into two or more products. It can be represented by the general equation:

AB → A + B

In this equation, AB represents the reactant that begins the reaction, and A and B represent the products of the reaction. The arrow shows the direction in which the reaction occurs.

Q: What is the chemical equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to water(H2O) and oxygen (O2)?

A: The equation for this decomposition reaction is:

2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2

Decomposition reaction is when, a compound breaks into multiple compounds

For example -

2Al2O3 => 4Al + 3O2

Basic interpretation =

AB => A + B
