  • Zinc Carbonate Thermal Decomposition: Equation & Explanation
    The thermal decomposition reaction of zinc carbonate is:

    ZnCO₃(s) → ZnO(s) + CO₂(g)

    Here's a breakdown:

    * ZnCO₃(s): Zinc carbonate in its solid state.

    * ZnO(s): Zinc oxide, also in its solid state.

    * CO₂(g): Carbon dioxide gas.

    This reaction occurs when zinc carbonate is heated to a high enough temperature, causing it to break down into zinc oxide and carbon dioxide gas.
