Homework Statement


Which has the max. value of KP-
a)MgCO3(s) --> MgO(s)+CO2(g)
b)CaCO3(s) --> CaO(s)+CO2(g)
c)SrCO3(s) --> SrO(s)+CO2(g)
d)BaCO3(s) --> BaO(s)+CO2(g)

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I don't understand how we could determine which has the max. Kp because in all the equations Kp=PCO2. What other factors should i look into?

Thanks!

Perhaps it asks about the ease of the thermal decomposition?

Then i guess the answer is a). Right? :smile:

If I will answer yes or no I will do your homework.

It isn't a homework question anyway, it is a question from a test i gave a few days ago.
But i am sure about the answer.
