Question

Write a complete, balanced equation for the following chemical reaction: lithium carbonate, heated.

Answer 1

Answer:

li2co3--> lo2o + co2

Explanation:

heat

Answer 2

The balanced equation is

$Li_2CO_3\rightarrow Li_2O+ CO_2$.

• The chemical formula of lithium carbonate is $Li_2CO_3$.
• On heating, lithium carbonate undergoes a decomposition reaction to produce lithium oxide along with carbon dioxide gas.
• The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is as follows-
• $Li_2CO_3\rightarrow Li_2O+ CO_2$
• In this reaction, one mole of lithium carbonate decomposes to form one mole of lithium oxide along with one mole of carbon dioxide gas.
