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.

What is the molecular structure of water? What are the physical and chemical properties of water?
Slav-nsk [51]
Water (H
2O) is a polar inorganic compound that is at room temperature a tasteless and odorless liquid, which is nearly colorless apart from an inherent hint of blue. It is by far the most studied chemical compound and is described as the "universal solvent" [18][19] and the "solvent of life".[20] It is the most abundant substance on Earth[21] and the only common substance to exist as a solid, liquid, and gas on Earth's surface.[22] It is also the third most abundant molecule in the universe.[21]

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form Thorium-234 as daughter product.

Explanation:

Alpha decay is indicative of loss of the equivalents of a helium particle emission. The reaction equation for this reaction is shown below:

_{92} ^{238} U_{}→ _{90} ^{234} Th_{} + _{2} ^{4} He_{}

I hope this explanation is clear and explanatory.
