    What happens when carbonates, of IA group elements are heated?

    A)  \[C{{O}_{2}}\] is given out

    B)  Water vapours are given out

    C)  Carbon dioxide and water vapours are evolved

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Key Idea Heating effects of carbonates (i) Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr carbonate \[\xrightarrow{\Delta }\] No gas (ii) \[{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  ammonium \\  bicarbonate \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{H}_{4}}HC{{O}_{3}}}}\,\,\,\,+N{{H}_{3}}\] (iii) \[A{{g}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }4Ag+2C{{O}_{2}}+{{O}_{2}}\] \[2HgC{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }2Hg+2C{{O}_{2}}+{{O}_{2}}\] (iv) Rest carbonate \[\xrightarrow{\Delta }\] Rest oxide \[+C{{O}_{2}}\]                 \[ZnC{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }ZnO+C{{O}_{2}}\]                 \[L{{i}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }L{{i}_{2}}O+C{{O}_{2}}\] When carbonates of IA group elements are heated, there is no evolution of gas and water vapours. Only \[L{{i}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\] gives \[C{{O}_{2}}\] on heating.
