The equation 4MnCO3 -> 4MnO2 + 4CO2 + 2O2

Detailed information about the equation 4MnCO₃ -> 4MnO₂ + 4CO₂ + 2O₂ -> :
This equation describes the reduction process of manganese carbonate (MnCO₃) to produce manganese dioxide (MnO₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and oxygen (O₂). All substances involved in this reaction are in solid state.

Reaction conditions:
For this reaction to take place, manganese carbonate needs to be heated at a high temperature.

Reaction process:
When heating manganese carbonate, the MnCO₃ molecules will decompose into manganese dioxide (MnO₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and oxygen (O₂).

Occurrence phenomenon:
When heating manganese carbonate, the initial solid matter will disappear and in its place, the gas form of carbon dioxide and oxygen will appear. Along with this, manganese dioxide will be formed as a solid.
