(choose chapter or problem)

Consider the thermodynamics of calcination. (a) The following equation is a generic reaction representing calcination of a metal carbonate: MC03(s) ----> MO(s) + C02(g) Would you expect this reaction to become more or less spontaneous as the temperature increases? (b) What is the standard free energy, llG0, for the reaction corresponding to the calcination of PbC03 (Equation 23.1) at 25 oc under standard conditions? Is this reaction spontaneous? If not, at what temperature does this reaction become spontaneous (assuming llH0 and so values do not change with temperature)?
