When heated, calcium carbonate (calcite) decomposes to form
calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas
CaCO3(s) <----> CaO(s) + CO2(g)
Using the data below, calculate the equilibrium partial pressure of
CO2(g) over a mixture of solid CaO and CaCO3 at 500 ◦C if ∆CP,m for
the reaction is independent of temperature over the temperature
range between 25 ◦C and 500 ◦C
...............................CaO(s)..........CO2(g).............. CaCO3(s)
∆H◦ f (kJ/mol) .......−635.09 ......−393.51 ............−1206.92
S◦ m (J / mol K) ......39.75 .........213.74 .................92.90
CP,m (J / mol K) ......42.80 ..........37.11 .................81.88
