Question

In the conversion of limestone to lime,
CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g)
the values of ΔHo and ΔSo are +179.1kJmol1 and 160.2kJmol1 respectively at 298K 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
1118K

Solution

The correct option is A 1118K
CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g)
ΔH0=+179.1KJ/mol
ΔS0=160.2KJ/mol
ΔG0=ΔH0TΔS0
For spontaneous process, ΔG0<0
ΔH0TΔS0<0
103×179.1<160.2×T
T>179.1×103160.2
T>1118K
Therefore, above 1118K, the reaction will be spontaneous.
