Question

For the reaction : CaCO3 (s) CaO(s) + CO2(g), Kp = 1 atm at 9270C. If 20g of CaCO3 were kept in a 10 litre vessel at 9270C, then calculate percentage of CaCO3 remaining at equilibrium.

Solution

moles CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g)
at t=0 20100 - -
0.2x x x
as KP=[PCO2]=1
Thus, by using PV=nRT
1×10L=n×0.0821×1200K
n=0.1015=x
Thus, moles of CO2 formed is x=0.1015
Mole of CaCO3 remained= 0.2x=0.20.1015
=0.0984 mole
Amount of CaCO3 remained is
0.0984 moles ×100g/mole
mCaCO3=9.84g
