Question

The industrial production of lime (CaO) from calcium carbonate is accomplished via the following reaction:

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

Given the following data:

Temperature (K) ------ K

298 -------------------- 1.93×1023

1200 --------------------- 1.01

what can be said about this reaction?

A - The reaction makes more lime at higher temperatures.

B - The reaction goes to completion at 1200K.

C - The equilibrium lies far to the right at room temperature.

D - Lower temperatures result in more lime formation.

Explanation / Answer

As temperature increasing equilibrium constant is also increasing that's means reaction is endothermic.that is as we increase the temperature constant increasing hence at higher temperature more product formation will take place, so A will be correct.
