Question

When limestone is heated, quicklime is formed according to the equation.
CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g)
The experiment was carried out in the temperature range 800900oC, Equilibrium constant Kp follows the relation. log Kp=7.2828500T
where, T is temperature in Kelvin. At what temperature the decomposition will give CO2(g) at 1 atm?

Solution

The correct option is A 894.11oC
The given equation for decompositon of Quicklime CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g)
The experiment was carried out in the temperature range 800900oC. Equilibrium constant Kp follows the relation,
log Kp=7.2828500T
where, T is temperature in Kelvin.

The decomposition gives CO2(g) at 1 atm
Kp=PCO2=1
log Kp=7.2828500T
log 1=7.2828500T
0=7.2828500T
7.282=8500T
T=1167.26oC
T=1167.26273.15oC=894.11oC
The temperature is 894.11oC
