By heating salts can be dehydrated, thermally decomposed or melted.
The symbol for the reaction that occurs when copper carbonate is heated is: CuCO3(s) → CuO(s) + CO2(g)
Neutrizaltion reaction
A chemical reaction
When copper carbonate is heated, a thermal decomposition reaction occurs. This reaction causes copper carbonate to break down into copper oxide and carbon dioxide gas, which is released as a byproduct.
A mixture that darkens in color due to a reaction is often one that involves the Maillard reaction, commonly observed in cooking. This reaction occurs between amino acids and reducing sugars when food is heated, resulting in the browning of meats, baked goods, and roasted coffee. Another example is the oxidation of metal ions in a solution, such as the darkening of iron salts when exposed to air.
Many salts do not decompose when heated.
When methanol is heated with pentanoic acid, an esterification reaction occurs, forming methyl pentanoate (a type of ester) and water as byproduct. This reaction is catalyzed by an acid suchanni acid.
Salts are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base; this reaction is called neutralization reaction.
When chloroform is heated with silver powder, a reaction occurs that leads to the formation of elemental silver and hydrogen chloride gas. This reaction is known as the dehydrochlorination of chloroform. Silver powder acts as a catalyst in this reaction, facilitating the decomposition of chloroform into its constituent elements.
Salts are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base (a neutralization reaction).
When an onion is heated, the chemical reaction that occurs is caramelization. This reaction involves the breakdown of sugars in the onion due to heat, resulting in the browning and sweetening of the onion. Additionally, when onion is heated, sulfur compounds are released, giving it its distinct aroma and flavor.
it is the decomposition reaction, CaCO3 = CaO + CO2
