NEET Chemistry pH & Buffer Solutions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate, the equilibrium constant Kc depends solely on the concentration of CO2 gas. | Reason (R): Both CaO and CaCO3 are solids and their concentrations remain constant during the reaction.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In heterogeneous equilibria, the concentrations of pure solids like CaO and CaCO3 are constant, so Kc depends only on the concentration of gases like CO2.
