The equilibrium constant for the reaction: \[ \text{CaCO}_{3(\text{s})} \rightleftharpoons \text{CaO}_{(\text{s})} + \text{CO}_{2(\text{g})} \] Which of the following statements are correct? (A) \( K \) is independent of the initial amount of \(\text{CaCO}_{3}\) (B) At a given temperature, \( K \) is independent of the pressure of \(\text{CO}_{2}\) (C) \( \Delta H \) is dependent on the catalyst (D) \( \Delta H \) depends on temperature Show Answer The correct options are: (A), (B), and (D) . Explanation: For the equilibrium \[ \text{CaCO}_{3(\text{s})} \rightleftharpoons \text{CaO}_{(\text{s})} + \text{CO}_{2(\text{g})}, \] the equilibrium constant \(K\) is independent of the initial amount of \(\text{CaCO}_{3}\). At a given temperature, \(K\) is independent of the pressure of \(\text{CO}_{2}\), and \(\Delta H\) is independent of...
