Chemistry - Reactions - Gas given off and solid remaining after heating

AI Thread Summary
When heated, strontium carbonate, zinc carbonate, and iron carbonate release carbon dioxide gas and leave behind their respective metal oxides as solids. The process involves the decomposition of carbonates into oxides and CO2. Each carbonate will yield a different oxide, which is the solid residue after heating. The confusion arises from the expectation of a single solid product, but each carbonate produces its own unique oxide. Therefore, the final result includes multiple solid oxides, confirming that all carbonates decompose similarly.

The Attempt at a Solution


So I presume carbon dioxide would be given off and the 3 substances would become oxides. I'm don't get what would form a solid though?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The oxides would form the solid. To find the oxides, just remove CO2 from the empirical formula.
 
So all the oxides would be solids? I thought it might be that... but the way the question was presented made me think it would just be one.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
