Solution
The correct option is A greater than 0.95% The dissociation equilibrium is CaCO3(s)⇔CaO(s)+CO2(g). The expression for the equilibrium constant is KP=PCO2=0.0095atm. When the percentage of carbon dioxide in air is greater than 0.0095×100=0.95%, the loss in weight of carbon dioxide will be prevented.
