Question

In the preparation of quick lime from limestone, the reaction is:

$C a C O_{3 (s)} ⇌ C a O_{(s)} + C O_{2 (g)}$
Experiments carried out between $850^{\circ} C$ and $950^{\circ} C$ led to a set of $K_{p}$ values fitting in empirical equation $l n K_{p} = 7.282 - \frac{8500}{T}$ , where $T$ is the absolute temperature. If the reaction is carried out in quiet air, what minimum temperature would be predicted from this equation for almost complete decomposition of lime?

Solution

For complete decomposition of lime, the value of $K_{p}$ must be $1$
$ln K_{p} = 7.282 - \frac{8500}{T}$
$⟹ K_{p} = 1$
$7.282 = \frac{8500}{T}$
$T = 1167$ $K$ (minimum temperature for complete reaction)
In $^{o} C = 1167 - 273 = 894^{o} C$
