The decomposition of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide is a redox reaction .True/False

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the decomposition of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) into calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a redox reaction, we need to analyze the oxidation states of the elements involved in the reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the Balanced Equation:** The decomposition reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{CaCO}_3 (s) \rightarrow \text{CaO} (s) + \text{CO}_2 (g) ...
