Solution

The correct options are
A CaCO3CaO+CO2

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.

CaCO3CaO+CO2

Al2O3.xH2OAl2O3+xH2O
