Chemguide: Support for CIE A level Chemistry

Group 2

Learning outcome 10.1.3

This statement is asking for a description of the effect of heat on Group 2 nitrates and carbonates.

Before you go on, you should find and read the statement in your copy of the syllabus.

Important! Note that this statement only wants a description, and will also expect equations. The explanations are covered in a later statement 27.1.1, and that won't be tested until the final exam in a two year course.

You will find a summary of all this on the page thermal decomposition of the Group 2 carbonates and nitrates. You only need to read the section headed "The Facts" for the purposes of this statement.
