Diamond is the hardest mineral known. It is composed of 100% carbon, meaning it cannot 'decompose' in the classic sense where an object's different elements separate from each other.
You can heat a diamond to:
- 3820 degrees Kelvin, or
- 6416.33 degrees Fahrenheit, or
- 3546.85 degrees Celsius
and at that height heat the diamond will melt.

Is pbso4 will decompose on heating?
Yes
Does mercuric oxide decompose on heating?
Mercuric oxide decomposes upon heating to give off mercury and oxygen.
Why ammonium salts decompose on heating?
Probable because the ion ammonium has covalent bonds.
Why does sodium carbonate not decompose on heating?
because it is a salt with little energy capabilty to react.
What happens when melted diamond cools?
Diamonds don't melt. In air they burn. Without air they decompose forming graphite.
Is pbso4 will decompose on heating?
Yes
Does iron sulphate decompose on heating?
Yes
Would aluminum oxide decompose readily upon heating?
No it would not. Al2O3 is very stable, and will not decompose
Does organic compound decompose at high temperature?
The decomposition temperature depends on the compound. But many organic compounds do decompose on heating.
Does mercuric oxide decompose on heating?
Mercuric oxide decomposes upon heating to give off mercury and oxygen.
Why you do not use evaporation to separate oil from water?
this is because it does not decompose by heating
Would you expect aluminum oxide to decompose readily upon heating?
Aluminum oxide will not decompose readily upon heating because it is a very stable oxide. Aluminum oxide is passive and is less affected by environmental factors.
What happens when freon is heated?
It`s pressure rises continual heating will cause it to decompose.
Why does sodium carbonate not decompose on heating?
because it is a salt with little energy capabilty to react.
Why ammonium salts decompose on heating?
Probable because the ion ammonium has covalent bonds.
Why does sodium trioxocarbonate IV does NT decompose on heating?
I think it won't decompose on heating because of its stability to heat and the nature of bond formed between sodium and trioxocarbonate (IV) ion which could also be a function of it position in the activity series.
Does heating a diamond slow down the rate of it melting?
Diamonds don't melt.
