Consider the decomposition of barium carbonate: BaCO3(s) ->BaO(s) + CO2(g). Using data from the thermodynamic quantities at298.15K table, calculate the equilibrium pressure of CO2 at (a)298K and (b) 1100K.

I have the answers, but need to understand the concept and thesteps. Thanks!
The answers provided are: deltaH^degree = 269.3 KJ, deltaS^degree =0.1719 J/K, (a)PCO2 = 6 x 10^-39 atm, and (b) PCO2 = 1.6 x 10^-4atm
