A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction where a substance breaks down into simpler components. For example, limestone (calcium carbonate) can decompose into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. This reaction is exothermic, releasing -1778 kJ of energy. The enthalpy change is calculated using the standard enthalpies of decomposition of the reactants and …

Thermal Decomposition Heating limestone initiates thermal decomposition. When limestone hits around 900°C (1,650°F), it breaks down spectacularly. You get calcium oxide, also known as quicklime, while carbon dioxide makes a dramatic exit. About 44% of the limestone’s mass disappears into thin air. Talk about a weight loss plan!
