Ah, yeah that makes sense. Thanks!

My teacher is pretty strict about details, and I'm working on an assignment about writing/balancing chemical reactions. The question is: He never really mentioned how to write the heat part in the equation, so I kind of just winged it. This is what I got: Ca2(CO3)2 + heat → 2CaO + 2CO2 Have I written that correctly? (Sorry, the subscript letters didn't carry over properly from MS Word.) EDIT: Also, how would you write decomposition? For example: How would I write "decomposes"?

Hi, all. I'm only 15, so I'm not exactly scientifically knowledgeable by any stretch of the imagination--at least not among the people that this forum seems to attract. I probably won't post too much, as I won't really know what I'm talking about, but I plan on lurking quite a bit. I'm taking Honors Chemistry this year, and I've discovered that I love it. I'm also in AP Environmental Science, but the class has been a joke so far. I'm signed up for AP Chem and AP Psychology for next year, and I plan on taking AP Biology senior year in high school. In college I want to major in something scientific (most likely bio, chem, bio-chem, or psychology) and then go to med school, eventually becoming a psychiatrist. Apart from science, I love linguistics (some may consider that a science) and music (been playing drums for 7 years now). Thanks for reading.
