Energetics Practical 2: To Determine the Enthalpy Change of a Reaction Background Calcium Carbonate‚ CaCO₃‚ decomposes with heat to form CaO and CO₂. The objective of this practical was to determine the enthalpy change for this reaction by using an indirect method based upon the foundation of Hess’ Law. Both calcium oxide and calcium carbonate react readily with 2 mol/dm3. The reaction can be demonstrated as so: CaCO₃ (s) -> CaO(s) + CO₂ (g) Results: Raw Data Calcium Carbonate Mass of CaCO₃
