Consider the following reaction at 298 K: 32O2(g) O3(g); KP = 2.47 10-29. rG for the reaction is kJ. (Given R = 8.314 JK-1 mol-1)
Answer
163
Solution
rG = -2.303 RT KP
(2.47 10-29) = 0.393 - 29 = -28.607
⇒ rG = -2.303 8.314 298 (-28.607) J
= 1.632 105 J 163 kJ
∵ KP 1 ⇒ rG is large and positive (ozone formation is non-spontaneous)
Answer: 163
