If you remove some CO₂(g) from an equilibrium mixture of CaCO₃(s), CaO(s) and CO₂(g) in a hot closed vessel, which way would you expect the equilibrium to shift ? CaCO₃(s) $\harr$ CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Question

Removing CO₂(g) will cause the equilibrium to shift to the right to produce more CO₂(g) in order to counteract the change, according to Le Chatelier's principle.
