Group 2 — practice question

On heating, magnesium nitrate decomposes. Which equation correctly shows the thermal decomposition of magnesium nitrate?

  • A$\text{Mg(NO}_3)_2 \rightarrow \text{MgO} + \text{NO}_2 + \text{NO} + \text{O}_2$
  • B$2\text{Mg(NO}_3)_2 \rightarrow 2\text{MgO} + 4\text{NO} + 3\text{O}_2$
  • C$2\text{Mg(NO}_3)_2 \rightarrow 2\text{MgO} + 4\text{NO}_2 + \text{O}_2$
  • D$3\text{Mg(NO}_3)_2 \rightarrow \text{Mg}_2\text{N}_3 + \text{MgO} + 3\text{NO} + 7\text{O}_2$
