Detailed Solution

  • Among the given decomposition reactions, in case of                   MgCO3MgO+CO2 
  • Magnesium carbonate is decomposed to magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide. 

           Mg2++CO32-Mg2++O2-+CO2

The charge on both sides remain the same i.e. there is no change in the charge here unlike in other reactions. Hence, MgCO3MgO+CO2 is a decomposition reaction but not a redox reaction.
