The reaction between lime (CaO(s)) and carbon dioxide (CO2(g)) forms the predominant mineral in limestone, CaCO3(s), (Delta Hrxn° = −177.1 kJ/mol, Delta Srxn° = −158.2 J/K∙mol). Lime is a key component in making concrete and is made from limestone. What is the minimum temperature required to shift the equilibrium toward lime (CaO(s)) from limestone (CaCO3(s))?
We know the relation ;
where
is the
change in Gibbs free energy ,
is the
change in enthalpy , T is the temperature and
is the
change in entropy. If

When limestone (solid CaCO3) is heated, it decomposes into lime (solid CaO) and carbon dioxide gas. This is an extremely useful industrial process of great antiquity, because powdered lime mixed with water is the basis for mortar and concrete — the lime absorbs CO2 from the air and turns back into hard, durable limestone. Suppose some calcium carbonate is sealed into a limekiln of volume 750.L and heated to 770.0°C When the amount of CaCO3 has stopped changing, it is...

Calcium oxide (lime) reacts with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate (chalk). CaO(s) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s) ∆H = –178.4 kJ How many kilojoules of heat are evolved in the reaction of 0.500 kg CaO(s) (molar mass 56.08 g/mol) with an excess of carbon dioxide?
Calcium oxide (Lime) is usually produced by heating and decomposing limestone (CaCO3), a cheap and abundant mineral, in a process: CaCO3 (s) CaO (s)+CO2 (g) a) Limestone at 25°C is fed to a continuous calcination reactor. The calcination is complete, and the products leave at 900 °C. Taking 1 metric ton (1000 kg) of limestone as a basis and elemental species [Ca(s), C(s), O2(g)] at 25°C as references for enthalpy calculations, prepare and fill in an inlet-outlet enthalpy table and...

In the reaction, CaCO3(s)⟶CaO(s)+CO2(g) how many liters of carbon dioxide, CO2, measured at STP, would be produced from the decomposition of 309 g of calcium carbonate, CaCO3?

Limestone is predominantly, CaCO3, which can undergo the reaction. CaCO3(s) ===> CaO(s) + CO2 (g). We know from experience that this reaction is not spontaneous, yet ∆S for the reaction is positive. How can the second law of thermodynamics explain that this reaction is not spontaneous?
Calcium oxide can be used to "scrub" carbon dioxide from air. Cao(s) + CO2(g) - CaCO3(s) What mass of CO2 could be absorbed by 1.31 g of Cao? What volume would this CO2 occupy at STP?
