Limestone is mainly calcium carbonate, CaCO3.
When it is heated, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon
dioxide. Calcium oxide reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide.
Limestone and its products have many uses, including being used to make
mortar, cement, concrete and glass.

Heya !!!
Here you go ......
The decomposition of calcium carbonate is a thermal decomposition, these reactions use the energy in the form of heat for decomposition of the reactant.
Calcium carbonate on heating, decomposes to give calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide is used for manufacturing of cement.
Reaction:
CaCO3 (s)------------ CaO (s) + CO2 (g)
I hope this helps u !!!!
