When limestone (solid CaCO,) is heated, it decomposes into lime (solid CaO) and carbon dioxide gas. This is an extremely useful industrial process of great antiquity, because powdered lime mixed with water is the basis for mortar and concrete the lime absorbs CO, from the air and turns back into hard, durable limestone. Suppose a limekiln of volume 400. L is pressurized with carbon dioxide gas to 9.18 atm, and heated to 610.0 °C. When the amount of CO, has stopped changing, it is found that 3.31 kg of CaCO have appeared. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant K, this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO, and CaO at 610.0 °C. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: it's possible there was some error in this experiment, and the value it suggests for K does not match the accepted value. р Explanation Check Privacy 2019 McGraw-Hill Education.

he following demonstration takes place in a two-step process: rst, solid calcium carbide (CaC2j)reacts with liquid water to produce acetylene gas (C2H2)and aqueous calcium hydroxide. Second the acetylene gas produced is then ignited with a match, causing the combustion reaction of acetylene with oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
