Solution
The correct options are ACaCO3→CaO+CO2 CAl2O3.xH2O→Al2O3+xH2O In calcination the ore is heated below its melting point in the absence of air or limited supply of air. Oxygen containing ores like oxides, hydroxide and carbonates are calcined. Therefore, following reactions occur during calcination.
