Question

For the reaction : CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g),Kp=1 atm at 927oC. If 20g of CaCO3 were kept in a 10 litre vessel at 927oC, then calculate percentage of CaCO3 remaining at equilibrium:

Solution

CaCO3CaO(s)+CO2(g)
1 1 P
At equilibrium
PCO2=Kp
PCO2=1atm
volume = 10 litre Temperature =927oC+273
=1200k
pv=nRT
n=pvRT=1atm×10litre0.0821×1200
n=0.1015mole
Amount of CaCO3 consumed = 0.1015×(MolarmassofCaCO3)
=0.1015×100
=10.15gm
Amount of CaCO3 remaining =20g10.15g
=9.85g10gm
