why sodium carbonate does not decompose on heating
Answers
Sodium carbonate will not decompose in the presence of heat. ... Hence, sodium is able to form ions more easily. As Sodium polyacrylate is high in reactivity series, it makes strong bonds with carbonate ions. To break up this strong bond, high heat is required which is not provided by normal heating
Answer:-
Good question @Bronzed.
Explanation:-
Sodium carbonate.
It occurs in crystalline form and it has 10 water molecules is there which is known as water of crystallization.
On heating it loses its water molecules first.
Then after continued heating it doesnot decompose as it is ionic solid and has high boiling and melting points.
But the same strong heating if done in furnace it will decompose to give Sodium oxide and carbon dioxide gas.
But the decomposition will be not carried in laboratory or in your kitchen.
so, due to high boiling points and high melting points the sodium carbonate cannot be decomposed as it is ionic solid.
and ,if question asked will sodium carbonate be decomposed then your answer should be NO.
At your level it is enough.
