Chapter 10, Problem 143a

A steel container with a volume of 500.0 mL is evacuated, and 25.0 g of CaCO3 is added. The container and contents are then heated to 1500 K, causing the CaCO3 to decompose completely, according to the equation CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g). (a) Using the ideal gas law and ignoring the volume of any solids remaining in the container, calculate the pressure inside the container at 1500 K.
