Answer:
The conversion of calcium carbonate (CaCO)3 to calcium oxide (CaO) is an example of decomposition reaction. During the reaction, calcium carbonate decomposes on heating to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. The reaction takes place as follows: CaCO3(s)Heat⟶CaO (s)+CO2(g)

Answer:
No, it will not decompose it will simply melt.
Explanation:
The melting point of calcium oxide that is CaO is very less as compared to the calcium carbonate that decomposes very readily on heating to a certain temperature. As the CaO has a shorter or lower melting point it readily melts whenever heated to a greater temperature and therefore it does not decompose.
