The product : Copper oxide
Further explanation
Given
Word equation
Required
The product of the reaction
Solution
The chemical equation can be expressed in terms of:
- words equation
- the skeleton equation
- balanced equation
If we state the word equation above into a chemical equation(with formula)
CuCO₃ ⇒ CuO + CO₂
This reaction is a type of decomposition reaction
AB⇒A+B
Where the copper carbonate is decomposed into copper oxide and carbon dioxide
As we know, in a chemical reaction, the reactants are on the left and the products are on the right
So that the products of this reaction are copper oxide and carbon dioxide and the reactants are copper carbonate
