Thermal decomposition of magnesium carbonate. Equ

1 answer

The equation for the thermal decomposition of magnesium carbonate is as follows:

MgCO3(s) -> MgO(s) + CO2(g)

In this reaction, solid magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) decomposes into solid magnesium oxide (MgO) and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) when heated.
