The reaction is an example of a decomposition reaction.
- In the mentioned reaction, the products are formed after the breaking of the reactant. In such a reaction, the single reactant molecule dissociates to give constituent elements combined as the product.
- The compound CaCO3 is Calcium carbonate, CaO is calcium oxide and CO2 is carbon dioxide.
- 1 mole of calcium carbonate releases 1 mole each of calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
