Decomposition Reaction
A chemical reaction in which a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
CaCO3
Calcium carbonate, a common substance found in rocks as the minerals calcite and aragonite and in the shells of marine organisms, eggs, and snails, used in building material and as a dietary supplement.
Reaction Rate
