Heating of calcium carbonate is an example of a ____ reaction.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C decomposition
In a decomposition reaction, the reactant breaks into two or more simple products. Heating of calcium carbonate results in formation of calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. The reaction involved is:
CaCO3(s) heat−−→ CaO(s)+CO2(g)
Since it decomposes to give simpler products so it is a decomposition reaction.
