## Arithmetic in 11.19c

$\Delta G^{\circ}= \Delta H^{\circ} - T \Delta S^{\circ}$

$\Delta G^{\circ}= -RT\ln K$

$\Delta G^{\circ}= \sum \Delta G_{f}^{\circ}(products) - \sum \Delta G_{f}^{\circ}(reactants)$

### Arithmetic in 11.19c

Can someone please show the math they did in 11.19c?

Calculate k for CaCO3(s) --> CaO(s) + CO2(g) at 25 degrees C

k = 1x10^-23 but my calculator keeps rounding to zero and I want to see if I did it right.

Thanks.

delta G = (-604.03 - 392.36) + 1128.8 = 130.41 kj/mol
lnk = - 130410/(8.314*298.15) = -52.61
k = e^(-52.61)
k = 1.419 * 10^-23
k = 1 * 10^-23
Hopefully this helps!
