In conversion of limestone to lime,

CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g)

the values of ΔHo and ΔSo are + 179.1 kJ mol-1 and 160.2 J K-1 mol-1 respectively at 298 K and 1 bar. Assuming that ΔHo and ΔSo do not change with temperature, then calculate the temperature above which conversion of limestone to lime will be spontaneous.

  1. 1008 K
  2. 1200 K
  3. 845 K
  4. 1118 K

Answer

(D) 1118 K
