pls help me someone

A decomposition reaction is a type of reaction in which one reactant breaks down into two or more products. This can be represented by the general equation: H2O2 → 2H + 2O. In this example the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide occurs and water and oxygen are formed.

What happens when zinc metal reacts with sulphuric acid?

Zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to form zinc sulphate and hydrogen This hydrogen goes up into the atmosphere whereas the zinc sulphate remains.

Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air?

Magnesium ribbon should be cleaned before burning in air because Magnesium metal combines with oxygen to form Magnesium Oxide (MgO) layer, which is a very stable molecule.

Why arteries have thick, elastic walls, while veins have thin walls?

Arteries have thick, elastic walls, while veins have thin walls because arteries are under more pressure, as compared to veins that are under less pressure. Arteries are big in size whereas veins are small.

What is the role of valves in the heart?

The role of valves in the heart is that these valves prevent the backward flow of blood.
