Question 25

Which one of the following reactions is categorized as a thermal decomposition reaction?

  1. 2H2O (l) ⟶ 2H2(g) + O2 (g)
  2. 2AgBr(s) ⟶ 2Ag(s) + Br2(g)
  3. 2AgCl(s) ⟶ 2Ag(s) + Cl2(g)
  4. CaCO3(s) ⟶ CaO(s) + CO2(g)
Answer

CaCO3 (s) ⟶ CaO(s) + CO2 (g)

Reason — The decomposition of CaCO3 is carried out by heating hence the above reaction is a thermal decomposition reaction.
