| When limestone is heated (Thermally Decomposes) what does it form? | calcium oxide and carbon dioxide |

| what is thermal decomposition? | when one substance chemically changes into at least 2 new substances when its heated |
| other metal carbonates decompose in the same way. how does copper decompose? | copper carbonate-->copper oxide+carbon dioxide |
| how do we test for carbon dioxide gas? | bubbling it through limewater (which will form cloudy) |
