Question:

Some metal oxides can be decomposed to the metal and oxygen under reasonable conditions. Is the decomposition of silver(I) oxide product favored at equilibrium at 25°C?
2 Ag2O(s) → 4 Ag(s) + O2(g)

If not, can it become so if the temperature is raised? At what temperature does the reaction become product-favored at equilibrium?
