Question

Calculate equilibrium constant when caco3 gives cao & co2.Pressure of co2 is 1atm at 0 degree

Answer 1

Hi, please consider the answer given below;

I think this question is a bit challenging but I would like ti take another approach to solve it out.

Well, we have been given a dissociation reaction of calcium carbonate.

CaCO3  <=====> CaO + CO2;

therefore as a general rule, solids are not included in the calculation of the equilibrium constant; so we will only use the CO2 gas which is the product.

So Kp = pCO2

     Kp= 1 atm.

Answer 2

Answer:

therefore as a general rule, solids are not included in the calculation of the equilibrium constant; so we will only use the CO2 gas which is the product.

So Kp = pCO2

     Kp= 1 atm.
