Chemguide: Support for CIE A level Chemistry Learning outcome 9.2(c) 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 statements 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 statement 9.2(g), 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.
