Over coffee and croissants at breakfast one day, your friend Eissa (an expert chemist) says this: "Carbonates decompose on heating into oxides and carbon dioxide gas."
Using Eissa's statement, and what you already know about chemistry, predict the products of the following reaction.

Be sure your chemical equation is balanced!

Which statements are true concerning mineral formation? check all that apply. the slower the cooling, the larger the crystals. the faster the cooling, the smaller the crystals. crystals formed from magma are smaller than crystals formed from lava. minerals can only form in solutions when the solution is heated deep underground. when a solution cools, elements and compounds leave the solution and crystallize as minerals. minerals formed from hot water solutions can form narrow channels in the surrounding rock.
