About this document
Thermal Decomposition of Metal Carbonate by Savir is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The lab report investigates the thermal decomposition of an unknown metal carbonate, aiming to identify the compound through mass loss and carbon dioxide detection using limewater. The experiment demonstrated a mass loss of 0.15 g, indicating the release of CO₂, and concluded that the unknown carbonate is most likely barium carbonate (BaCO₃). Possible sources of error were identified, including incomplete decomposition and gas leakage, and the methodology can be applied for further studies on metal carbonat
