The type of equation that will occur is referred to as a decomposition reaction

The following is the reaction that occurs: 
             
              heat
ZnCO3 ----------->  ZnO  +  CO2
 (s)                          (s)         (g)

This specific reaction usually takes place during the calcination of metal ores such this zinc carbonate to form the zinc oxide.

the equation will be znco3= zno+co2

it is a thermal decomposition reation.
