Solution
The correct option is A894oC In the preparation of CaO from CaCO3 using the equilibrium CaCO3(s)⇌CaO(s)+CO2(g) Kp is expressed as logKp=7.282−8500T For complete decomposition Kp=1 logKp=0 logKp=7.282−8500T 0=7.282−8500T 7.282=8500T T=1167.26K T=1167.26−273.15oC T=894.11oC Thus, for the complete decomposition of CaCO3, the temperature in celsius to be used is T=894oC
