Answer 2

The balanced chemical equation for the description: solid barium carbonate decomposes into solid barium oxide and carbon dioxide gas when heated is $\[BaC{O_3}(s) \to BaO(s) + C{O_2}(g)\]$.

Explanation:

• When a compound breaks or decomposes into two or compounds on heating, it is called decomposition and the reaction is called decomposition reaction.
• When solid barium carbonate is heated, it decomposes into solid barium oxide and carbon dioxide gas is released.
• The reaction can be given as:

        $\[BaC{O_3}(s) \to BaO(s) + C{O_2}(g)\]$
