Question

Consider the following reaction: PbCO3(s)←−→PbO(s)+CO2(g).

A.) Using data in Appendix C in the textbook, calculate the equilibrium pressure of CO2 in the system at 370 ∘C.
B.) Using data in Appendix C in the textbook, calculate the equilibrium pressure of CO2 in the system at 240 ∘C.

Answer 1

To calculate the equilibrium pressure of CO2 in the system, we need to use the equilibrium constant expression and data from Appendix C. We can calculate the equilibrium pressure of CO2 at 370°C and 240°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the equilibrium pressure of CO2 in the system, we need to use the equilibrium constant expression. The equilibrium constant (K) is equal to the concentration of CO2 at equilibrium. In this case, K = [CO2].

A) Using the data in Appendix C in the textbook, we can find the equilibrium constant (K) at 370°C. Once we know the value of K, we can calculate the equilibrium pressure of CO2 by multiplying K by the partial pressure of PbCO3.

B) Similarly, we can use the data in Appendix C to calculate the equilibrium pressure of CO2 at 240°C.
