A steel container with a volume of 500.0 mL is evacuated,
and 25.0 g of CaCO3 is added. The container and contents
are then heated to 1500 K, causing the CaCO3 to decompose
completely, according to the equation
CaCO31s2¡CaO1s2 + CO21g2.
(a) Using the ideal gas law and ignoring the volume of any
solids remaining in the container, calculate the pressure
inside the container at 1500 K.
