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.
