Name the carbonate which is not decomposed by heating? This question has multiple correct options

  • A. Sodium carbonate
  • B. Potassium carbonate
  • C. Magnesium carbonate
  • D. None of these

Step-by-step solution

Group 1 carbonates (except lithium) are thermally stable. Both sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate do not decompose upon heating, while magnesium carbonate decomposes to MgO and CO2. Since the question indicates multiple correct options and the format requires a single selection, option A is chosen as a representative correct answer.
