Question

A sealed vessel initially contains [CO_{2}] = 0.215 M. Identify if more of the CaCO_{3} will form or will some of the existing CaCO_{3} decompose as equilibrium is reached in the reaction: CaCO_{3}(s) ⇌CaO(s) + CO_{2}(g), K_{c} = 0.0132.

Accepted Answer

more CaCO_{3} will form

Answer

more CaCO_{3} will decompose

Answer

no change in amount since it is in equilibrium

A sealed vessel initially contains [CO2] = 0.215 M. Identify if more of the CaCO3 will form or will some of the existing CaCO3 decompose as equilibrium is reached in the reaction: CaCO3(s) ⇌CaO(s) + CO2(g), Kc = 0.0132.
