is:
a) oxidation process b) redox process
c) disproportionation d) decomposition
The vidation state of boenhav.....​

Answer 1

d) decomposition

Step-by-step explanation:

Burning of limestone is a decompostion reaction. In a decomposition reaction, there is formation of two or more products from a single reactant. The main driving force of such a reaction is the high positive heat of formation of the compound.

The reaction is stated below:

CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂

Here, limestone is cracked into two products, CaO and CO₂
