Question

Consider the following reaction:

CaCO 3(s) <—> CaO (g) +CO 2(g)

For this reaction, delta S = +158.9 J/ mol and Delta * H ^ o = + 177.9kJ / (mol) . These values are fairly constant with changes in temperature. Over what specific temperature range is this reaction spontaneous in the forward direction?

Expert Solution
Step 1

For a spontaneous reaction,

deltaG should be negative.

Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

From the given delta H and delta S values, calculate T (absolute temperature ) where the reaction becomes spontaneous.

 

 

 

 

Step 2

Given,

delta S = +158.9 J/ mol and

Delta  Ho = + 177.9kJ / (mol) . 

Substitute the given values in above relation:
