Copper(II) carbonate undergoes thermal decomposition. One of the pro
1 answer:
Answer: The green copper (II) carbonate changes to black copper oxide
Explanation:
Decomposition is defined as the chemical reaction in which a single compound gives two or more simple substances. It requires energy to break the bonds between reactants, thus is an endothermic process.
Thermal decomposition uses heat for decomposition.
The chemical equation for thermal decomposition of copper (II) carbonate is:
The green copper (II) carbonate changes to black copper oxide

Given parameters:
Initial volume = 120ml
Initial temperature = 35°C
Initial pressure = 1.2bar
Final volume = 180ml
Final temperature = 35°C
Unknown:
Final pressure = ?
To solve this problem, we apply the combined gas law. The expression is given below;
Where P₁ is the initial pressure
P₂ is the final pressure
V₁ is the initial volume
V₂ is the final volume
T₁ is the initial temperature
T₂ is the final temperature
We need to convert the parameters to standard units
take the volume to dm³;
1000ml = 1dm³
120ml = dm³ = 0.12dm³ = initial volume
Final volume;
1000ml = 1dm³
180ml = dm³ = 0.18dm³
Now, the temperature;
K = 273 + °C
Initial temperature = 273 + 35 = 308k
Final temperature = 308k
We then input the parameters into the equation;
Solving for P₂;
P₂ = 0.8bar
The new pressure or final pressure in the vessel is 0.8bar
