What type of rection is taking place when limestone is heated?
it is the decomposition reaction, CaCO3 = CaO + CO2
How do you know that the decomposition of limestone is an endothermic reaction?
Endothermic means that a reaction needs heat to occur. Limestone needs to be heated to decompose into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide
Whats the limestone heating reaction?
When limestone is heated to above 900 degrees Celsius, it will break down into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. This is a thermal decomposition reaction.
What substance is made when limestone and clay are heated together?
Limestone, CaCO3 decomposes into quicklime, CaO, and carbon dioxide, CO2, when heated. The reaction is: CaCO3 + heat --> CaO + CO2.
What is the name and formula of the gas that is also produced when limestone is heated?
Carbon dioxide (CO2). The reaction is CaCO3--->CaO + CO2.
What is formed when limestone is heated?
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.
