    Which of the following carbonates, will not decompose on heating?

    A)  \[CaC{{O}_{3}}\]                             

    B)  \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]             

    C)         \[BaC{{O}_{3}}\]             

    D)         \[CdC{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Alkali metal carbonates e.g., \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}},\] do not decompose on heating. All other carbonates decompose on heating giving \[C{{O}_{2}}\] gas. \[CaC{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }CaO+C{{O}_{2}}\]
