Question

State which of the metal carbonates decomposed most easily. Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Heating metal carbonates

One common reaction of any metal carbonates is known as thermal decomposition. When metal carbonates are heated, they break down to form the metal oxide and carbon dioxide gas. ... The stability of the metal carbonates can be measured by heating the carbonate and bubbling the carbon dioxide given off through limewater.

Answer 2

$\huge{\textbf{\underline{Question:-}}}$

State which of the metal carbonates decomposed most easily. Explain your answer.

$\huge{\textbf{\underline{Answer:-}}}$

$\pink\bigstar$Copper carbonate decompose very easily.

$\rule{200}3$

$\longrightarrow$Metal carbonate decompose by the method of Thermal Decomposition.

$\rule{200}3$

$\implies$ Copper carbonate is green and copper oxide is black before heating.

$\sf\pink{Conclusion:-}$The carbon dioxide produced can be detected using limewater, which turns milky.
