Calcium carbonate decomposes on heating.
Table 4.1 shows the values of the Gibbs free energy change, ΔG⊖, for this reaction at various temperatures.

Table 4.1
Assume the standard enthalpy change, ΔH⊖, and the standard entropy change, ΔS⊖, for this reaction remain constant over this temperature range.
Use the data in Table 4.1 to plot a graph of ΔG⊖ against T on the grid.
