Calcium carbonate is heated in a sealed container, as shown by the equation.
CaCO3⇌CaO+CO2\text{CaCO}_3 \rightleftharpoons \text{CaO} + \text{CO}_2CaCO3⇌CaO+CO2
Which condition is needed for the mixture to reach equilibrium?
The carbon dioxide must be allowed to escape slowly
None of the substances must be able to leave the container
All of the calcium carbonate must decompose first
The container must be opened once the reaction has started
