    Among the following the least thermally stable is

    A) \[{{K}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]                                 

    B) \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[BaC{{O}_{3}}\]                             

    D) \[L{{i}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Thermal stability of carbonates increases on moving down a group. Thus, lithium carbonate,\[L{{i}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]is least thermally stable. \[L{{i}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }L{{i}_{2}}O+C{{O}_{2}}\uparrow \]
