Why would the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate require a higher temperature than that required for copper carbonate?

As it requires more energy to break the bonds of calcium carbonate,as it is more reactive meaning it combines with elements in the air and atmosphere, and copper is a less reactive metal.

What is the equation for heating calcium carbonate?
Calcium carbonate --> Calcium oxide + Carbon dioxide Its an example of thermal decomposition.
What type of reaction occurs when calcium carbonate is heated?
Thermal decomposition.
Is the decomposition reaction of calcium carbonate in an open container reversible or irreversible?
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 does Calcium Carbonate produce after going through a decomposition reaction?
The products are calcium oxide and carbon dioxide The equation: CaCO3 -> CaO + CO2
What happens when calcium oxalate monohydrate is heated?
According to thermogravimetric data from DSC analysis, the first step releases water to form the anhydrous salt but upon further heating this step is followed by an oxidative (disproportionation) decomposition step in which carbon monoxide and calcium carbonate are formed. The third and final step is the decomposition of calcium carbonate to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Because of step 2, good ventilation should be used during decomposition of calcium oxalate.
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.
What is the equation for heating calcium carbonate?
Calcium carbonate --> Calcium oxide + Carbon dioxide Its an example of thermal decomposition.
What is the name of the solid formed when calcium carbonate decomposes?
Thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate release calcium oxide (CaO).
What are the uses of decomposition reactions?
Decomposition of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide on heating is an important decomposition used in various industries.
What are the application of decomposition reaction?
An example is the preparation of calcium oxide from calcium carbonate.
What is the name when calcium carbonate decompose?
i think its thermal decomposition
What gas is evolved from the decomposition of calcium carbonate?
Carbon Dioxide
What type of reaction occurs when calcium carbonate is heated?
Thermal decomposition.
How is calcium carbonate affected by heating?
I'm going to answer in a word equation Calcium Carbonate--heat--Calcium Oxide+Carbon Dioxide. It's called thermal decomposition.
What solid is formed when calcium carbonate decomposes?
If you're talking about thermal decomposition then the answer is Calcium Oxide (s)
Thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide?
CaCO3 -----> CaO + CO2
What would be the products of calcium carbonate if it undergoes decomposition reaction?
If CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) were to decompose, it would likely result in CaO (calcium oxide) and CO2 (carbon dioxide).
