The carbonate that will not decompose on heating is

A

a) Na_(2)CO_(3)`

B

b) CaCO_(3)`

C

c) `BaCO_(3)`

D

`d) SrCO_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`Na_(2)CO_(3)` will not decompose on heating.
All alkali metal (IA group) carbonates (except `Li_(2)CO_(3)`) are highly stable and not decomposes on heating. Carbonates of alkaline earth metal (II A group) decompose into `CO_(2)` and metal oxide.
