Solid ammonium chloride dissociates according to NH4Cl(s) → NH3(g) + HCl(g). The dissociation vapour pressure of NH4Cl at 427 °C is 608 kPa but at 459 °C it has risen to 1115 kPa. Calculate (i) the equilibrium constant, (ii) the standard reaction Gibbs energy, (iii) the standard enthalpy, (iv) the standard entropy of dissociation, all at 427 °C. Assume that the vapour behaves as a perfect gas and that ΔrH⦵ and ΔrS⦵ are independent of temperature in the range given.
