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.

Is the decomposition of calcium carbonate reversible or irreversible?

The decomposition of calcium carbonate is reversible as it can be reversed by recombining calcium oxide and carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate again through a chemical process known as carbonation.


What is the name of the solid formed when calcium carbonate decomposes?

Thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate release calcium oxide (CaO).


What is the word equation for the thermal decomposition for calcium?

Calcium is an element and does NOT thermally decompose. However, I think you mean Calcium Carbonate. The word equation for it's thermal decomposition is. Calcium Carbonate ==heat==> Calcium Oxide (Lime) and Carbon Dioxide. Here is the BALANCED reaction equation. CaCO3(s) ==heat==> CaO(s) + CO2(g)


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?

Calcium carbonate is a very stable molecule. However, if heated (thermal) to 'red heat' it breaksdown(decomposes), with the liberated of carbon dioxide. The chemicak process is named 'THERMAL DECOMPOSITION'. Here is the word equation Calcium carbonate ==heat==> Calcium oxide (Lime) & Carbon dioxide. Here is the BALANCED reaction equation. CaCO3(s) ==heat==> CaO(s) + CO2(g) Visually in the lab. a piece of calcium carbonate is a white solid, On thermal decompistion it remains a solid of the same size, shape and colour(white). The only way you can tell it has decomposed is to weigh it on a balance scales. The calcium oxide(CaO) will have less mass than the calcium carbonate.(CaCO3). The difference is accounted for by the mass of carbon dioxide released. NB The word 'thermal' comes from Classical Greece, and refers to heat, as in 'thermometer'. NNB You will find the roots of a lot of 'horrible' scientific words, in Classical Greek and Latin.


Predict the most likely products formed from the reaction between calcium carbonate and sodium metal?

The reaction between calcium carbonate and sodium metal is likely to produce calcium oxide, sodium carbonate, and carbon as products. Calcium oxide is formed from the decomposition of calcium carbonate, while sodium carbonate is formed from the reaction of sodium metal with carbon dioxide released from the decomposition of calcium carbonate. Carbon is produced as a byproduct.


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 is the equation for heating calcium carbonate?

Calcium carbonate --> Calcium oxide + Carbon dioxide Its an example of thermal decomposition.


How is carbon released from calcium carbonate?

When calcium carbonate is heated, it undergoes thermal decomposition to produce calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. This reaction releases the carbon that was originally part of the calcium carbonate as carbon dioxide gas.


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 is the process of caco3 decomposition and what are the factors that influence it?

The process of CaCO3 decomposition involves breaking down calcium carbonate into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide through heating. Factors that influence this process include temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts.


What is the chemical equation for the decomposition of calcium hydrogen carbonate?

the chemical equation for the decomposition of calcium hydrogen carbonate is given below.Ca(HCO3)2(aq) → CO2(g) + H2O(l) + CaCO3(s).It is a balance chmeical reaction.
