Ca(HCO 3 ) 2 (s) decomposes at elevated temperatures according to the stoichiometric equation Ca(HCO 3 )

Question:

Ca(HCO3)2(s) decomposes at elevated temperatures according to the stoichiometric equation Ca(HCO3)2(s) ???? CaCO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g).

a. If pure Ca(HCO3)2(s) is put into a sealed vessel, the air is pumped out, and the vessel and its contents are heated, the total pressure is 0.290 bar. Determine KP under these conditions.

b. If the vessel also contains 0.120 bar H2O(g) at the final temperature, what is the partial pressure of CO2(g) at equilibrium?
