Not all carbonates decompose when heated; their behavior depends on the specific type of carbonate. For example, some carbonates, like sodium carbonate, are stable and do not decompose upon heating. However, many metal carbonates, such as calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, do decompose at elevated temperatures, releasing carbon dioxide gas and leaving behind metal oxides. The decomposition temperature and products can vary widely among different carbonates.

What is thermol decomposition?

Metal carbonates decompose when heated, to form an oxide. For example: Calcium + Oxygen = Calcium carbonate oxide Some carbonates decompose more easily than others, in other words, it happens at a lower tempreture.

Yes, it is the basic property of an acid to decompose the carbonates into carbon dioxide.


What is used to ignite a Bunsen burner?

Carbonates often decompose when heated, forming gases and a residue. Hydrogen carbonates may decompose as well, but different compounds have different ease of decomposition. Aluminum chloride sublimes (changes directly into a gas from the solid state) when heated.

Can All carbonates are insoluble in water?

No, not all carbonates are insoluble in water. While many carbonates, such as calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, have low solubility, some, like sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, are soluble in water. The solubility of carbonates generally depends on the metal ion they contain and the pH of the solution.
