Under which temperature conditions (high or low) is the following reaction spontaneous? explain your answer. CaCO3 (s) --> CaO (s) + O2 (g)
Change in number of gaseous mole = 1
Hence the entropy of the reaction is positive
Hence Delta G will be negative for high values, hence the reaction will be spontaneous at high temperature, since gibbs free energy will become more and more negative at higher temperature
