Question

The equilibrium constant for the reaction CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) is:
  1. Kc=[CaO][CO2][CaCO3]
  2. Kc=[CaCO3][CaO][CO2]
  3. Kc=[CO2]
  4. Kc=1[CO2]

A
Kc=[CaCO3][CaO][CO2]
B
Kc=[CO2]
C
Kc=[CaO][CO2][CaCO3]
D
Kc=1[CO2]
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The equilibrium reaction is as follows:
CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g).

The expression for the equilibrium constant is Kc=[CaO][CO2][CaCO3]

The concentration of solids is considered as unity.

Substituting [CaCO3]=1 and [CaO]=1 in the expression for the equilibrium constant, we get-

Kc=[CO2]

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
