Question:

A mixture of 1.00 mol NaHCO₃(s) and 1.00 mol Na₂CO₃(s) is introduced into a 2.50 L flask in which the partial pressure of CO₂ is 2.10 atm and that of H₂O(g) is 715 mmHg. When equilibrium is established at 100 °C, will the partial pressures of CO₂(g) and H₂O(g) be greater or less than their initial partial pressures? Explain.

2 NaHCO3(s) NaCO3(s) + CO(g) + HO(g) 0.23 at 100 C (for pressures in atmospheres) Kp
