  • 2 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years ago

A thermal decomposition reaction can be defined as a decomposition reaction which is activated by thermal energy. In other words, a thermal decomposition reaction requires energy to be supplied to the reactants in the form of heat. Such reactions are generally endothermic since energy is required to break the chemical bonds and separate the constituent elements. A common example of a thermal decomposition reaction is provided below.

CaCO3 → CaO + CO2

When heated, calcium carbonate decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. This process is employed in the manufacturing of quick lime, which is an important substance in many industries.
