Chemistry

A sample of solid CaCO3 is added to an empty reaction vessel,which is then sealed. After awhile, the following reaction reachesa state of dynamic equilibrium.

CaCO3(s)---------> CaO(s) + CO2(g), H = 178 kJ (permol CO2)

Briefly explain how the equilibrium values of the mass of CaOand the pressure of CO2 are affected by the

following actions.

a) increasing the temperature
b) removing a small amount, but not all, of the CaCO3
c) transferring the equilibrium mixture to a larger reactionvessel
d) adding a small amount of LiOH(s), which reacts with CO2 to giveLi2CO3(s) and H2O(l)
