In the early study of air composition, Ramsey in 1894 separated water vapor, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide from air by absorption processes.

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 500. L. and heated to 520.0 °C. When the amount of CaCO, has stopped changing, it is found that 3.84 kg have disappeared. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant K, this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO, and CaO at 520.0 °C. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: it's possible there was some error in this experiment, and the value it suggests for K, does not match the accepted value.arrow_forward

Percent error = % (b) For the statements below, identify the possible source(s) of error for this student's trial. The student notices a large air bubble in the eudiometer after collecting the hydrogen gas, but does not dislodge it. The student does not clean the zinc metal with sand paper. The student does not equilibrate the water levels within the eudiometer and the beaker at the end of the reaction. The water level in the eudiometer is 1-inch above the water level in the beaker. The student uses the barometric pressure for the lab to calculate R.arrow_forward
