Chemistry

Calcium Oxide (CaO) is widely used in the production of cement,steel, medicines and many other familiar materials. It is usuallyproduced by heating and decomposing limestone (CaCO3), a cheap andabundant material, in a calcination process:

CaCO3(s) -> CaO(s) + CO2(g)

CaCO3 at 298 K is fed to a continuous reactor. The calcinationis complete, and the products leave at 1000 K. Taking 800 gmol oflimestone as a basis and elemental species [Ca(s), C(s), O2(g)] at298 K as reference for enthalpy calculations.
