17. Consider the reaction shown and identify the statement that is not true. 825°C
CaCO3(s)
+ CaO(s) + CO2(g)
a.
This reaction is balanced as written.
b. The reactant must be heated for this reaction to occur.
c. The products are a solid and a gas.
d. Water must be present for this reaction to occur.
There are no solutions used in this reaction.
e.

Water must be present for this reaction to occur.

Explanation:

Decomposition reactions require breaking of bonds which require energy and thus all of the decomposition reactions are endothermic reactions.

The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) whereas liquids are represented by (l) and gases are represented by (g) after their chemical formulas.

The balanced chemical reaction of decomposition is:

The decomposition of requires heat and leads to formation of CaO as solid and as product.

Thus the the statement that is not true is Water must be present for this reaction to occur.
