All carbonates of alkaline earth metals decompose on heating to give metal oxide and carbon dioxide

(C O_{2})

. All these carbonates are white solids and the oxide that are produced are also white solid

Metal carbonate M \cdot C O_{3} Δ Metal oxide M \cdot O + C O_{2}

(i), (iii) and (iv)

(i) and (ii) only

(i), (ii) and (iii)

(ii) and (iii) only

All carbonates of alkaline earth metals decompose on heating to give metal oxide and carbon dioxide (CO2​). All these carbonates are white solids and the oxide that are produced are also white solid Metal carbonateM⋅CO3​​Δ​ Metal oxide M⋅O​+CO2​

Q. The carbonates of alkaline earth metals decompose on heating to give
(i) $C O_{2}$
(ii) Metal oxide
(iii) $H_{2} O$
(iv) $CO$

All carbonates of alkaline earth metals decompose on heating to give metal oxide and carbon dioxide $(C O_{2})$ . All these carbonates are white solids and the oxide that are produced are also white solid
$Metal carbonate M \cdot C O_{3} Δ Metal oxide M \cdot O + C O_{2}$
