CaCO3 --> CaO + CO2 Heated Calcium Carbonate (limestone) forms Calcium Oxide (quicklime) and Carbon Dioxide
When you heat limestone it becomes calcium oxide but if you mean calcium carbonate then it should go down slightly due to the release of CO2
Limestone is calcium carbonate (Ca(CO)3. When sufficiently heated it breaks down into lime (calcium oxide, CaO), and water (H2O).
carbon dioxide calcium oxide (quicklime) CaCO3 > CaO + CO2
calcium carbonate :)
calcium carbonate (limestone)
CaCO3 --> CaO + CO2 Heated Calcium Carbonate (limestone) forms Calcium Oxide (quicklime) and Carbon Dioxide
When heated, limestone forms two different things. It forms both calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. This occurs because limestone is made up of calcium carbonate.
Limestone is calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which when heated to above 840°C decomposes into calcium oxide (CaO) while releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) according to the equation: CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
It decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide
calcium carbonate, acetaldehyde and 2-hydroxy propanal

The gas is Carbon dioxide, formed by the decomposition of Calcium carbonate it the Marble or Limestone

No, limestone is a carbonate rock formed through chemical precipitation. Sandstone is a classification used for sedimentary rocks ranging in various sizes and compositions. Limestone is CaCO3 where as sandstones are usually quartz (SiO2) and feldspars.
