What is the word equation for CaCo2?

No such substance as 'CaCo2'. Do you mean calcium carbonate, in which case the formula is 'CaCO3'? or do you mean an alloy(mixture) of 1 part calcium(Ca) to 2 parts cobalt(Co)?


What is a balanced equation for the decomposition of the solid calcium bicarbonate?

I don't know the equation but i have heard that down in certain depths calcium bicarbonate can be decomposed. However if it helps the equation to make calcuim bicarbonate is: Carbon dioxide + calcium carbonate + water Leads to Calcium Bicarbonate best i could do, I've been researching for a phytoplankton that decomposes calcium bicarbonate, that's how i found this and thought i should help contribute any of my knowledge, Kimo,

What type of reaction that takes place where calcium carbonate is heated strongly?

When calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) is heated strongly, it undergoes a thermal decomposition reaction. This process breaks down calcium carbonate into calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas. The reaction can be represented by the equation: CaCO₃ (s) → CaO (s) + CO₂ (g). This reaction is commonly used in the production of lime for various industrial applications.
