Conversion of CaCO3 into CaO as per the following reaction is an example of:
CaCO3(s) heat−−→ Cao(s) + CO2(g)
Oxidation reaction.
CaCO3(s) heat−−→ CaO(s) + CO2(g)
In the given reaction, CaCO3 decomposes to CaO and CO2, so the given reaction is an example of thermal decomposition reaction because heat is used here. By heating calcium carbonate, one can obtain calcium oxide. So it is a thermal decomposition reaction.
