calcium carbonate decomposition temperature

[observer1]

CaCO3 --->(heat) CaO + CO2
How much heat is needed for turning 2 grams of CaCO3 into CaO and CO2

[chenbeier]

Temperatures above 680°C decomposition starts. Save reaction is at 900° C.  In industrical oven it's used 1000 - 1300 °C.

Answering the actual question

 

When 1mol of calcium carbonate decomposes into 1mol of calcium oxide and 1mol of carbon dioxide, 177.8kJ of heat is absorbed.

Thats correct, for calculating the conversion of the given mass. But the head line asked for decomposition  temperature. So different questions.

So, answering the actual, actual question😃, since MW of CaCO3 is 40+12 + (16x3) = 100, 2g would absorb 2/100 x 177.8 = 3.556kJ, wouldn't it?

Yes correct.
