Question

from the following equation in which decomposition of CaCO3 takes place, give your justification. CaCO3 gives Ca +CO2 ​

Answer 1

CaCO₃(s) => CaO(s) + CO₂(g) ... GpIIA Decomp

Step-by-step explanation:

Metallic Carbonates decompose into a metallic oxide and carbon dioxide.

Examples:

Na₂CO₃(s) => Na₂O(s) + CO₂(g) ... GpIA Decomp

MgCO₃(s) => MgO(s) + CO₂(g) ... GpIIA Decomp
