MCQ
The thermal dissociation equilibrium of $CaCO _3( s )$ is studied under different conditions.

$CaCO _3( s ) \rightleftharpoons CaO ( s )+ CO _2( g )$

For this equilibrium, the correct statement(s) is (are)

$(A)$ $\Delta H$ is dependent on $T$

$(B)$ $K$ is independent of the initial amount of $CaCO _3$

$(C)$ $K$ is dependent on the pressure of $CO _2$ at a given $T$

$(D)$ $\Delta H$ is independent of the catalyst, if any

  • A
    $(A,B,C)$
  • $(A,B,D)$
  • C
    $(A,C,D)$
  • D
    $(B,C,D)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(A,B,D)$
b
$(A)$ $\Delta H _2-\Delta H _1= C _{ P ( NNn )}\left( T _2- T _1\right)$

and $C _{ p }$ depends on temperature. Hence enthalpy also depends on temperature.

$(B)$ $CaCO _{3( s )} \rightleftharpoons CaO _{( s )}+ CO _{2( g )} \quad Kp =\left( P _{ CO _2}\right)_{\text {atequilibrium }}$

For a given reaction.

Keq. depends only on temperature.

$(C)$ Keq depends only on temperature.

$(D)$ Enthalpy of reaction is independent of the catalyst. Catalyst generaly changes activation energy.
