    Which of the following carbonate decompose most easily on heating?

    A)  \[R{{b}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]

    B)  \[{{K}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[MgC{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Key Idea: Alkali metals carbonates do not decompose on heating but alkaline earth   metal carbonates decompose easily. \[\text{MgC}{{\text{O}}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }MgO+C{{O}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\text{MgC}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]will decompose most easily among given choices.
