Chapter 12, Problem 99QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of Calcium carbonate that must decompose to achieve the equilibrium pressure of Carbon dioxide has to be calculated in the decomposition reaction of limestone.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas equation:

The ideal gas equation is given by,

  $\text{P}\text{V}\text{=}\text{n}\text{R}\text{T}$

Where,

  $\text{P}$ is the pressure,

  $\text{V}$ is the volume,

  $\text{T}$ is the temperature,

  $\text{R}$ is molar gas constant,

  $n$ is the number of moles.
