Solution
The correct option is A For the reaction, CaCO3(g)⇌CaOi+CO2(g)
Kp=PCO2andKC=[CO2]
([CaCO3] = 1 and [CaO] = 1 for solids]
According to Arrhenius equation we have K=Ae△Ho,/RT
Taking logarithm, we have
log Kp=logA−△Ho,RT(2.303)
This is an equation of straight line. When log Kp is plotted against 1/T. We get a straight line.
The intercept fo this line = log A, slope = −△Ho,/2.303R
Knowing the value of slope from the plot and universal gas constant R, △Hor can be calculated.
Equation of straight line : Y = mx + C. Here, log Kp=−△Hor2.303R(1T)+logA
