Question

In conversion of lime-stone to lime, CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g), the values of Δ0H and ΔS0 are +179.1 kJmol1 and 160.2 J/Kmol respectively at 298 K and 1 bar. Assuming that ΔHo and ΔSo do not change with temperature, temperature above which conversion of limestone to lime will be spontaneous is:

A
1008 K

Solution

The correct option is D 1118 K
Gibbs free energy, G is the measure of the spontaneity of a chemical process. The negative G indicates that a reaction is spontaneous under the given conditions.

We know, ΔG=ΔHTΔS, if G<0 then, ΔH<TΔS.

Therefore, T=ΔHΔS=(179.1×1000)160.2=1118K

Thus, above 1118K, ΔG will be negative and the reaction will be spontaneous.

Hence, the correct option is D
