The correct order of decomposition temperature of \(\mathrm{MgCO}_3\) \((\mathrm{X}) . \mathrm{BaCO}_3(\mathrm{Y}), \mathrm{CaCO}_3(\mathrm{Z})\) is

  1. A \(\mathrm{Y} \gt \mathrm{Z} \gt \mathrm{X}\)
  2. B \(X \gt Y \gt Z\)
  3. C \(Y \gt X \gt Z\)
  4. D \(X \gt Z \gt Y\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Y} \gt \mathrm{Z} \gt \mathrm{X}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Thermal stability increases with increasing cationic size. So, correct order is \(\mathrm{BaCO}_3 \gt \mathrm{CaCO}_3 \gt \mathrm{MgCO}_3\)
