Transcribed Image Text:Q.8
Nitric acid hydrates have received much attention as possible catalysts for
heterogeneous reactions that bring about the Antarctic ozone hole.
Worsnop et al. investigated the thermodynamic stability of these hydrates under
conditions typical of the polar winter stratosphere (Science 259, 71 (1993).).
They report thermodynamic data for the sublimation of mono-, di-, and
trihydrates to nitric acid and water vapours,
HNO3'NH2O(s) → HNO3(g) + nH,O(g), for n= 1, 2, and 3.
Given A,G° and A‚H° for these reactions at 220 K (see table below), use the Gibbs-
Helmholtz equation to compute A,G° at 190 K. (Hint: integrate the Gibbs-Helmoltz
equation within the temperature interval)
