When limestone (solid CaCO3) 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 CO2 from the air and turns back into hard, durable limestone.   Suppose a limekiln of volume 300.L is pressurized with carbon dioxide gas to 15.5atm, and heated to 950.0°C. When the amount of CO2 has stopped changing, it is found that 1.79kg of CaCO3 have appeared. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant Kp this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO3 and CaO at 950.0°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 Kp does not match the accepted value.
Butane gas, C4H10, is sold to campers as bottled fuel. Its density at 258C and 1.00 atm is 2.38 g/L. What volume of butane gas at 258C and 1.00 atm is required to heat one gallon of water (d 5 1.00 g/mL) from 258C to 988C? The reaction for the combustion of butane (DHf 8 5 2125.6 kJ/mol) is C H (g)113O (g)9:4CO (g)15H O(g)
4a Assume that worldwide combustion of fossil fuel accounts for an energy use of 500 x 1015 kJ/year. Also, assume that all fossil fuels can be represented by the formula C3H5 with energy content of 32,500 kJ/kg.Finally, assume that air is 79% N2 and 21% O2 , and has a molecular weight of 29 kg/kmol. i. Estimate the annual release of CO2 to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, in kg/yr ii. If all that CO2 entered the atmosphere (and none was removed), estimate the increase in atmospheric concentration, in ppm by volume. Assume the atmosphere contains 6.7 x 1018 kg of air.
