    Thermal decomposition means breaking down a compound using heat. Specifically: - Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), when heated strongly, undergoes thermal decomposition to produce quicklime (calcium oxide, CaO) and carbon dioxide. - Limestone is the main natural source of calcium carbonate and has many uses when processed through thermal decomposition, such as in producing quicklime, cement, concrete, mortar and glass.

    Learning Objectives: By the end of the lesson I can:


    The formula of a compound shows the number and type
    of atoms that are joined together to make the compound.

    Calcium carbonate can be decomposed by heating


    (thermal decomposition) to make quicklime (calcium oxide)
    and carbon dioxide.

    Limestone (CaCO3), and its products have many uses,


    including slaked lime, mortar, cement, concrete and glass.

    Consider and evaluate the environmental, social and


    economic effects of exploiting limestone and producing
    building materials from it.
