Answer» Solution :Magnesite is a carbonate of magnesium . Magnesite when heated at `800^@C` to `100^@C` at the `CO_2` CONTENT in it driven off. The residue so obtained is known as CALCINED magnesite. `underset(("Magnesite"))(MgCO_3)OVERSET(800^@C" to "1000^@C)rarrunderset(("Magnesia"))(MGO)+CO_2uarr` |
