Question

Consider the decomposition of barium carbonate:

BaCOX3(s)BaO(s)+COX2(g)\ce{BaCO3(s) <=> BaO(s) +CO2(g)}

Using data from Appendix C in the textbook, calculate the equilibrium pressure of CO2 at

(a) 298 K
(b) 1100 K

We can solve the equilibrium partial pressure of carbon dioxide using the KpK_p of the reaction. The equilibrium constant equation is equal to the partial pressure of the product over the partial pressure of the reactants. Since COX2\ce{CO2} is the only gas in the equation, then...

Kp=PCOX2(1)K_p=P_{\ce{CO2}} \tag{1}

The equations that will be used in this problem are shown below.

ΔHrxn=ΔHf(products)ΔHf(reactant)(2)\Delta H^{\circ}_{\ce{rxn}}=\Delta H^{\circ}_f(\text{products)}-\Delta H^{\circ}_f(\text{reactant)} \tag{2}

ΔSrxn=ΔS(products)ΔS(reactant)(3)\Delta S^{\circ}_{\ce{rxn}}=\Delta S^{\circ}(\text{products)}-\Delta S^{\circ}(\text{reactant)} \tag{3}

ΔG=ΔHTΔS(4)\Delta G^{\circ}=\Delta H^{\circ}-T\Delta S^{\circ} \tag{4}

ΔG=RTlnK(5)\Delta G^{\circ}=-RT \ln K \tag{5}
