Calcium carbonate decomposes to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide, like this:
CaCO3(s)→CaO(s)+CO2(g)
At a certain temperature, a chemist finds that a 9.0L reaction vessel containing a mixture of calcium carbonate, calcium oxide, and carbon dioxide at equilibrium has the following composition:
Compound Amount
CaCO3 25.3 g
CaO 14.9 g
CO2 33.7 g
Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
