Question

explain the following chemical reaction with balanced equation limestone caco3 is heated at Higher temperature​

Answer 1

Answer:

The chemical name of lime stone is calcium carbonate. When it is strongly heated it undergoes a chemical process called as thermal decomposition. It leads to the formation of two compounds namely calcium oxide and carbon-di-oxide by breaking of calcium carbonate.

Answer 2

Calcium Carbonate when heated at Higher temperature​ gives Calcium Oxide and Carbon Dioxide

Explanation:

Calcium Carbonate is also known as limestone, chalk, marble, etc., is a white fluffy powder which is insoluble in water.

When Limestone is heated at 1200K, it decomposes to give $CaO$ (Calcium Oxide or Quicklime) and $CO_{2}$ (Carbon dioxide).

                            $CaCO_{3}$  → $CaO$ + $CO_{2}$

This type of decomposition reaction is known as Thermal decomposition.

This process is active in the manufacturing of quick lime, which is a chief material in various industries.

Calcium Carbonate is basic in nature. It is also used as an antacid
