Question

Which process is employed for themal decomposition of volatile compoumds?

Answer 1

CaCO3 → CaO + CO. The reaction is used to make quick lime, which is an industrially important product. Some oxides, especially of weakly electropositive metals decompose when heated to high enough temperature. A classical example is the decomposition of mercuric oxide to give oxygen and mercury metal.
