Question
The dissociation of CaCO3 takes place as per the equation,
CaCO3(s)⇔CaO(s)+CO2(g);ΔH=110kJ.

Solution
The correct option is A Temperature is increased The equilibrium reaction is CaCO3(s)⇔CaO(s)+CO2(g);ΔH=110kJ.
Positive value of the enthalpy change indicates that the reaction is endothermic.
∴The forward reaction is favored by increasing temperature.
Thus, when the temperature is increased, more carbon dioxide is formed which increases the pressure of carbon dioxide until it reaches a constant value.
