00:01 Here in this problem given solid calcium carbonate breaks down into carbon dioxide gas, oxygen gas and solid calcium.
00:08 We have to write an equation for this reaction.
00:12 Now here is calcium carbonate solid.
00:19 It breaks down and produces carbon dioxide gas, oxygen gas and solid calcium.
00:28 Now we have to balance this equation.
00:31 Here one calcium atom also one calcium atom on the other side of the equation so that's fine with the calcium atom carbon one here one on the right side so carbon atom we are fine with that but oxygen we have three on this side and on the product side four oxygen atoms so we have to make it balanced so let's place two here now we have six oxygen atoms two calcium atoms and two carbon atoms so we'll place two here...
