What happen to all Gp2 carbonates? What results?

Undergo thermal decomposition to produce metal oxide and carbon dioxide gas

2
New cards

What compounds all undergo thermal decomposition?

Gp2 carbonates

3
New cards

What is thermal decomposition?

Splitting a compound by heating it

4
New cards

What are all the carbonates and oxides produced?

All white solids

5
New cards

What does thermal stability do down the group?

Thermal stability increases

6
New cards

Why does thermal stability increase down the group?

More heat is needed to break it down and the more reactive the metal, the more stable it is

7
New cards

Show the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂

8
New cards

What is the test for the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate?

1) Heating and bubbling gas through limewater turns it milky 2) add acid and bubble gas through limewater

9
New cards

How would you test for calcium sulphate?

Add BaCl2 forms white ppt

How do you test for calcium hydroxide?

pH paper shows its alkali
