Practice ProblemATTEMPT

The reaction of carbon dioxide and calcium hydroxide to produce calcium carbonate and water is represented by the equation ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)+\text{Ca}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_2\left(s\right)\rightleftarrows {\text{CaCO}}_{\text{3}}\left(s\right)+{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\left(l\right).\Delta Hº$ for this reaction is $\text{-113 kJ/mol}$. Determine the direction the equilibrium will shift in response to a temperature increase, and a temperature decrease.
