Consider reaction, CaCO 3 s ⇌ CaO s + CO 2 g In a closed container at equilibrium. What would be the effect of addition of CaCO 3 on the equilibrium concentration of CO 2 ?

This is a heterogeneous equilibrium. The equilibrium constant for it can be written as:

$K_{c} = [{CO}_{2}]$

The concentration of CaCO₃and CaO are assumed to be constant as they are present as solid.

Hence, CaCO₃has no effect on equilibrium concentration.
