Answer to Question #286574 in General Chemistry for Uno

Question

For the production of lime, at which temperature would you employ to maximize its product yield?

Kp Temperature CaCO₃(s)⇆CaO(s)+CO₂(g) 1.9×10⁻²³ 289k 1.0 1200k

Answer 1

To ensure the maximum produce of CaO, the highest temperature should be used so as to speed up the reaction and maximise production yield.

So the answer will be 1200K
