Answer:

CaCO₃ ------> CaO + CO₂

<em>Note: The breakdown products of solid calcium carbonate is not carbon dioxide gas, oxygen gas, and solid calcium. Rather, it is calcium oxide and carbon dioxide as shown in the reaction equation above.</em>

Explanation:

Calcium carbonate is a mineral which occurs in nature in rocks as calcite and limestone. It is also the main component of eggshells, snail shells, seashells and pearls. It has the molecular formula CaCO₃.

Calcium carbonate or limestone decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide when heated and the reaction is used to make quicklime and carbon dioxide gas. The equation of the reaction is given below:

CaCO₃ ------> CaO + CO₂

Calcium oxide, one of the products of The decomposition reaction is known as lime and is an important mineral used for many purposes such as reducing the acidity of soils, in the production of limelight, as well as serving as the main ingredient in cement.

The main use of calcium carbonate is in the construction industry as an ingredient of cement. Calcium carbonate is also an important mineral required by sea organisms for making their shells.

The number of nucleons in an atom is the atom's (atomic, mass) number.
ELEN [110]
The number of neutrons in an atom is the number of particles present in its nucleus.
The atomic number is the number of protons whereas the mass number is the number of protons and number of neutrons together
This implies that the number of neutrons is the atom's mass number

Describe a solution and tell if the parts are mixed chemically or physically.
ANTONII [103]
Hey there! Let's get that problem solved! 

First: Let's define, "solution." 

Solution: <span>a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).

Next: Ask yourself, "can a solution be taken apart?" 

In some cases, yes. It can. 

The solution of salt water for example, can be physically separated by evaporation. (place salt-water in a pot on a heated stove, place the cover to the pot on the opening, wait a few minutes, remove the top, and you can (and taste) the water without the salt!)  </span><span />

The lab procedure mentions that not all of the oxone may dissolve after being added to the water because the water may be satura
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The answer is (C) There are more solute molecules than water molecules.

Explanation:

A saturated solution is one in which no more solute can be dissolved or disintegrated into the solvent. When or if the ozone  stops being dissolved in the water, it implies that the water has already taken on more ozone molecules than it can contain, meaning there are more solute molecules (ozone molecules) than there are solvent molecules (water molecules).
