Hello!
In this case, when solid calcium carbonate, CaCO3 (s), is decomposed by the action of thermal energy (heat), solid calcium oxide, CaO (s) and carbon dioxide gas, CO2 (g) are yielded via the following reaction:

However, since calcium carbonate is solid as well as calcium oxide and carbon dioxide is given off as a gas, we write:

Which also balanced.
Best regards!
The residue of coal decomposition in the manufacture of steel is coal tar. It is a by product of the coking process in the blast furnace. Coal gas is another by product but is not the answer becuase this is not a residue which is a solid. Coal gas is a gas. Coke in fact is one of the reactants fed for steel making. Answer is choice 3.
Answer:
x = 11.
This checks out since 11 + 10 = 21.
Explanation:
To determine how many protons are present, simply know or use the following equation
X = number of protons
Y = number of electrons
Z = formal charge of the element
X - Y = Z = 0 for a neutral atom
X - Y = 2
Then to solve for x
X = Y + 2.
This means that we would need an additional 2 more protons than electrons.
