In general, the thermal decomposition of a metal carbonate results in the formation of the metal oxide and carbon dioxide. Example: MCO3 ==> MO + CO2
Na2CO3--------Na2O + CO2 Carbon dioxide is released by the thermal decomposition of sodium carbonate.
Experimentally to prove that, capture the gas and pass it through lime water. If the lime water turns milky then the gas is CO2 . Or an example of equation for decomposition of a metal carbonate is :- MgCO3 + heat ------> MgO + CO2
thermaldecompositionMetal Carbonate ----------> Metal Oxide + Carbon dioxide
Decomposition of ammonium carbonate:(NH4)2CO3 --> 2 NH3 + CO2 + H2O
Carbonates are decomposed by heating in oxides and carbon dioxide; the temperatures of decomposition are: - Beryllium carbonate: decomposed at room temperature. - Magnesium carbonate: 400 0C - Calcium carbonate: 900 0C - Strontium carbonate: 1 280 0C - Barium carbonate: 1 360 0C - Radium carbonate: I have not yet found data.
Decomposition of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide on heating is an important decomposition used in various industries.
Calcium carbonate --> Calcium oxide + Carbon dioxide Its an example of thermal decomposition.
Na2CO3--------Na2O + CO2 Carbon dioxide is released by the thermal decomposition of sodium carbonate.
the metal carbonate decomposes into a metal oxide and carbon dioxide
I'm going to answer in a word equation Calcium Carbonate--heat--Calcium Oxide+Carbon Dioxide. It's called thermal decomposition.
basically you just need to use your brain to answer this question
Experimentally to prove that, capture the gas and pass it through lime water. If the lime water turns milky then the gas is CO2 . Or an example of equation for decomposition of a metal carbonate is :- MgCO3 + heat ------> MgO + CO2
CuCO3 ==> CO2 + CuO (heat is the catalyst, written above the arrow)
thermaldecompositionMetal Carbonate ----------> Metal Oxide + Carbon dioxide
The decomposition reaction is:MgCO3 = MgO + CO2
Decomposition of ammonium carbonate:(NH4)2CO3 --> 2 NH3 + CO2 + H2O
I am not sure of the answer so can someone help me pls
