For the decomposition CaCOX3(s)CaO(s)+COX2(g), ΔH>0, carried out in a closed vessel with excess solids present, select the correct statements.
AKp increases on heating
BThe equilibrium pressure of COX2 increases on heating
CAdding argon at constant T and V increases the equilibrium pressure of COX2
DHeating increases the amount of CaO at equilibrium
Answer: A, B, D
Kp=pCO2, and for an endothermic reaction it rises with T (A, B). More CaCOX3 decomposes, increasing CaO (D). Argon at constant V does not change pCO2 (C false).
