Consider the intermediate chemical reactions.
Ca(s) + CO2(g) + O2(g) - Cacos(s) AH, = -812.8 kJ
2 Ca(s)+ O2(g) → 2Cao(s)
AH, = - 1,269.8kJ
The final overall chemical equation is Cao(s) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s). When the enthalpy of this overall chemical equation is
calculated, the enthalpy of the second intermediate equation
is halved and has its sign changed.
