9 of 27
How do you form concrete?
You mix the cement with sand, water and gravel to make concrete.
10 of 27
How do you form glass?
You can heat limstone with sand and sodium carbonate until it melts to form glass.
11 of 27
When calcium carbonate is heated it thermally decomposes to make...WHAT?
Calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
12 of 27
How does thermal decomposition happen?
Thermal decomposition happens when one substance chemically changes into at least two new substances when it's heated.
13 of 27
Thermal decomposition of carbonates gives off...
Carbon dioxide.
14 of 27
Does zinc carbonate and copper carbonate thermally decompose in the same way as calcium carbonate to form an oxide and carbon dioxide.
Yes
15 of 27
When you heat a carbonate in a boiling tube....and pipe off the gas into a test tube filled with limewater. The carbon dioxide will turn...
Milky.
16 of 27
What is the word equation for thermal decomposition of copper?
copper carbonate → copper oxide → carbon dioxide
17 of 27
What is the word equation for thermal decomposition of zinc?
zinc carbonate → zinc oxide → carbon dioxide
18 of 27
What is the word equation for thermal decomposition of calcium?
calcium carbonate → calcium oxide → calcium dioxide
19 of 27
Do all carbonates undergo thermal decomposition the same? - If not explain why...
No - Because it depends on the stability of the metal carbonate.
20 of 27
Less stable carbonates will decompose ______ and the limewater will turn milky more quickly.
Faster
21 of 27
Write the word equation for when calcium oxide reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide...
calcium oxide + water → calcium hydroxide
