Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5E
The chemical name for limestone, a compound of calcium, carbon, and oxygen, is calcium carbonate. When heated, limestone decomposes into solid calcium oxide and gaseous carbon dioxide. From the names of the products, tell where you might find the atoms of each element after the reaction. How does Dalton’s atomic theory explain this?
