6. The atmospheric breakdown of CO2, the main greenhouse gas, to CO and O2 gas is highly temperature dependent, with Kp varying over many orders of magnitude for a temperature range of 1000K. At low T, a flask initially contains 1.00 atm of CO2. What is Pco if Kp is 1.0 x 1022 at this temperature for the formation of CO2 from CO and O2. What is the Ptotal in the flask at this low temperature?

If wet silver carbonate is dried in a stream of hot air. the air must have a certain concentration level of carbon dioxide to prevent silver carbonate from decomposing by the reaction Ag2CO3(s)Ag2O(s)+CO2(g) H for this reaction is 79.14 kJ/mol in the temperature range of 25 to 125C. Given that the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in equilibrium with pure solid silver carbonate is 6.23 103 torr at 25C, calculate the partial pressure of CO2 necessary to prevent decomposition ofAg2CO3 at 110C.
