Calcium nitrate breaks down when heated. What is the equation for the thermal decomposition of calcium nitrate?
- A$2\text{Ca(NO}_3\text{)}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{CaO} + \text{O}_2 + 4\text{NO}_2$
- B$\text{Ca(NO}_3\text{)}_2 \rightarrow \text{Ca(NO}_2\text{)}_2 + \text{O}_2$
- C$\text{Ca(NO}_3\text{)}_2 \rightarrow \text{Ca} + \text{O}_2 + 2\text{NO}_2$
- D$\text{Ca(NO}_3\text{)}_2 \rightarrow \text{Ca} + 3\text{O}_2 + \text{N}_2$
