Question

For the following reaction wherein there is a equilibrium established

CaCO3 (s) = CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

what will happen to the concentration of CO2 when:

(a) More CO2 is added
(b) Volume of system is decreased
(c) Temperature of the system is increased

Answer 1

Answer: Below is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

CaCO3 (s) = CaO (s) + CO2(g)

a) The CO2 will be removed. The CaCO3 mass will increase.

b) If the volume is decreased the pressure is increased in CO2. The CaCO3 mass will decrease.

c) The Pressure will increase.
