For a reaction,
CaCO3(s) CaO(s) + CO2(g)
DfH°(CaO) = – 635.1 kJ mol–1, DfH°(CO2) = –393.5 kJ mol–1 and DfH°(CaCO3) = –1206.9 kJ mol–1
Which of the following is a correct statement?
  1. A large amount of heat is evolved during the decomposition of CaCO3.
  2. Decomposition of CaCO3 is an endothermic process and heat is provided for decomposition.
  3. The amount of heat evolved cannot be calculated from the data provided.
  4. DrH° = S DfH° (reactants) – S DfH° (products)

Answer

(B) Decomposition of CaCO 3 is an endothermic process and heat is provided for decomposition.
