Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

The molecular formula of Vitamin C is $C_3H_4O_3$ .

The simplest whole number ratio will be 3: 4: 3 , and thus empirical formula will be $C_3H_4O_3$ .

When calcium carbonate is heated, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.

Thermal decomposition is the process in which heat is required.

It is also known as thermolysis.

It is processed in which a compound breaks into two or more products when the heat is supplied.

This reaction is used for the production of oxygen.

This reaction is also used for production of acidic as well as basic oxides.

CaCO3 on thermal decomposition gives:

CaCO3→CaO+CO2

CaO→ Basic oxide.

CO2→ Acidic oxide.
