When solid calcium carbonate is heated, what are the products formed? What kind of chemical reaction is this? |
|
Answer» When heated at 1200 K, calcium carbonate decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. CaCO3 + ∆ → CaO + CO2 This process is employed in the manufacturing of quick lime, which is an important substance in many industries. Decomposition of CaCO3 is an example of thermal decomposition reaction. |
