A student heated some copper(II) carbonate using this apparatus:
metal
carbonate
limewater
HEAT
(a) Describe and explain what would happen to the limewater (2)
(b) Write a balanced chemical equation, including state symbols,
for the reaction that occurs when copper (II) carbonate is
heated.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Below.

Explanation:

a) When limewater is heated it gives off carbon dioxide gas and leaves calcium oxide( CaO).

CaCO3 ----> CaO + CO2

b) When copper II carbonate is heated the equation is:

CuCO3 --->  CuO + CO2.
