CaCO3(s) = Cao (s)+CO2 (g) When heated strongly, solid calcium carbonate decomposes to produce solid calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas, as represented by the equation above. A 2.0 mol sample of CaCO3(s) is placed in a rigid 100. L reaction vessel from which all the air has been evacuated. The vessel is heated to 898°C at which time the pressure of CO2(g) in the vessel is constant at 1.00 atm, while some CaCO3(s) remains in the vessel.   a. Calculate the number of moles of CO2(g) present in the vessel at equilibrium.   b. Write the expression for Kp, the equilibrium constant for the reaction, and determine its value at 898°C.
