Question

Consider the following chemical equilibrium: CaCO3 (s) Cao (s)+cO2 (g) Now write an equation below that shows how to calculate Kc from Kp for this reaction at an absolute temperature T. You can assume T is comfortably above room temperature. If you include any common physical constants in your equation be sure you use their standard symbols, found in the ALEKS Calculator.

Answer 1

`Kc = Kp/(RT)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider the following chemical equilibrium:

CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Given the pressure equilibrium constant Kp = pCO₂

We can calculate the concentration equilibrium constant (Kc) using the following expression.

`Kc = Kp/(RT)^(\Delta n(g))`

where,

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

Δn(g) = moles of gaseous products - moles of gaseous reactants = 1 - 0 = 1

The expression for this reaction is:

`Kc = Kp/(RT)`
