At 900degrees C, Kp = 1.04 for the reaction
CaCO3 (s) --> CaO(s) + CO2(g)
At a low temperature, dry ice (solid CO2), calcium oxide and calcium carbonate are introduced into a 50 L reaction chamber. The temperature is raised to 900 degrees C resulting in the dry ice converting to gaseous CO3. Determine whether the system is at equilibrium. If the system is not at equilibrium determine the amount of each species when equilibrium is established
a) 655g CaCO3, 95.0g CaO, P(CO2) = 2.55atm
b) 780g CaCO3, 31.00 g CaO, P(CO2)= 0.104
