If wet silver carbonate is dried in a stream of hot air. the air must have a certain concentration level of carbon dioxide to prevent silver carbonate from decomposing by the reaction
∆H° for this reaction is 79.14 kJ/mol in the temperature range of 25 to 125°C. Given that the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in equilibrium with pure solid silver carbonate is 6.23 × 10−3 torr at 25°C, calculate the partial pressure of CO2 necessary to prevent decomposition ofAg2CO3 at 110°C. (Hint: Manipulate the equation in Exercise 79.)

One question to be considered is the effect of this temperature change on the uptake of CO2 by the water. The equilibrium constant for the reaction CO2+H2OH2CO3 ; is K=1.7103 at 25 °C. Because bonds form, the reaction is exothermic.
