13.3 Exercise 1

Avg difficulty 2.5

The following equation represents a reversible decomposition:
CaCO3(s)⇌CaO(s)+CO2(g)\text{CaCO}_{3} \left(s\right) \rightleftharpoons \text{CaO} \left(s\right) + \text{CO}_{2} \left(g\right)

Under what conditions will decomposition in a closed container proceed to completion so that no CaCO3 remains?
