Detailed Solution

Amount of CaCO3, m=20g

Molar mass of CaCO3,MW=100g/mole

Number moles of CaCO3,n=Mass of CaCO3MW of CaCO3

 Then n=20g100g/mole=0.2 mole

Volume of container V =5.6L

Percent of dissociation of CaCO3, α = 50%

so,α = 50100×0.2=0.1 mole

The chemical equilibrium for the dissociation of CaCO3 is

CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g)

Initial(mole):             0 

Change(mole): +x 

Equilib(mole): x = 0.1 

From ideal gas equation PV = nRT

Then pressure of gas p=nRTV

so,PCO2=0.1×0.0821×(819+273)5.6=1.6 atm

Therefore, equilibrium constant of the reaction is

Kp=PCO2=1.6 atm
