Is the decomposition reaction of calcium carbonate in an open container reversible or irreversible?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
The decomposition of calcium carbonate in an open container is irreversible, because one of the decomposition products, carbon dioxide, is a gas, and since the container is open, this gas will mix with the natural atmosphere and never develop sufficient local partial pressure to reverse the reaction.

What is the observations on decomposition of ammonium chloride in an open container?
Ammonium chloride appears to sublime but in this process solid NH4Cl actually (chemical) decomposition into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gas is involved. NH4Clsolid → NH3,gas + HCl,gas
Why is the boiling of water and the cooling of water vapor a reversible reaction?
In a closed system, water can be boiled until it produces water vapor (steam). If the steam is then condensed through a coil of tubing and collected in another container, the same volume of water winds up in the second container that you started with originally. An action created and then reversed to it's original point. Note that this is in a closed system.
What type of container is best for cooling foods through the TDZ?
Shallow metal container

Is the decomposition of calcium carbonate reversible or irreversible?
In a closed container at normal temperature it is reversible but at high temperature it is irreversible reaction.
Why is dissolving sugar in water a reversible change?
It’s reversible
What reversable reactions occur in the container?
There are a couple reversible reactions that occur in the container. For example, one of the reactions is that gas can be reversed to a solid.
How you stop decomposition?
Salt whatever it is for a few days ina sealed container

Is adding water to soil an irreversible change?
No, adding water to soil is a reversible change. Water can be evaporated from the soil through evaporation or drained out through drainage systems. This allows the soil to return to its previous state before the water was added.

Why is making carbon dioxide with vineager and bakin soda a irreversible?
Carbon dioxide is a gas and escapes from the container. Thus one product is not available to allow te reaction to go in reverse.
What are the ingredients in soda water?
carbonated water is like regular water only pressurized heavily with carbon dioxide. An airtight sealed and pressurized container is needed to keep the carbon dioxide in the water. Once the container is opened, the sorrounding air and tha low pressure forces the CO2 out of the water causing it to bubble.
How can I store fresh vegetable juice in a portable container without oxidation?
Crush the veggies like an olive press Remove all oxygen from the package. (Maybe if you carbonate it like a soda beverage?)
Why the egg become softer in salt solution?
The popular "rubber egg" experiment demonstrates how egg shells, which are made of calcium carbonate, respond to acid. To carry out this experiment, place a few eggs in a plastic container or a jar. Cover the eggs with white vinegar and place a lid on the container. Refrigerate the container for 24 hours. When you check on the eggs the next day, you'll notice that the eggshell has become softer, if not completely dissolved.
