Question

Limestone (CaCO₃) is the second most abundant mineral on Earth after SiO₂. For many uses, it is first decomposed thermally to quicklime (CaO). MgO is prepared similarly from MgCO₃.(a) At what T is each decomposition spontaneous?

Answer 1

Limestone (CaCO₃) is the second most abundant mineral on Earth after SiO₂. For many uses, it is first decomposed thermally to quicklime (CaO). MgO is prepared similarly from MgCO₃.

AT 871°C CaCO 3 needs about 1 hour for complete decomposition.

At what temperature Caco3 decompose to Cao?

At any temperature higher than 835°C, the value of Δ G ∘ will be negative and the decomposition reaction will be spontaneous.

AT 871°C CaCO 3 needs about 1 hour for complete decomposition.

Calcium carbonate decomposes on heating to give calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
