JEE Advanced2013ChemistryChemical EquilibriumActual
The thermal dissociation equilibrium of CaCO 3 s ⁡ is studied under different conditions. CaCO 3 s ⁡ ⇌ CaO s ⁡ + CO 2 g For this equilibrium, the correct statement(s) is/are
Options
- A∆ H is dependent on T .
- BK is independent of the initial amount of CaCO 3 .
- CK is dependent on the pressure of CO 2 at a given T .
- D∆ H is independent of the catalyst, if any.
Correct answer
A. ∆ H is dependent on T .
Step-by-step solution
Kirchoff's Equation- Δ H T = Δ H ∘ + ∫ 298 T Δ Cp reac dT Δ H reac is dependent on temperature. K = CO 2 × 1 1 as solids are treated at unit activity. K is independent of initial amount of CaCO 3 . K p = pCO 2 ( g ) at a given temperature K p depends only on temperature. Δ H = E a for - E b back A catalyst lowers only the activation energies & Δ H react is independent of catalyst.
