The reaction of calcium oxide with the pollutant sulfur trioxide, CaO(s) + SO3(g) → CaSO4(s); ΔG° = –345 kJ/mol, has been proposed as one way of removing SO3 from the smoke resulting from burning coal that contains sulfur. This reaction hardly occurs under standard state conditions. Calculate ΔG for this reaction at 25 °C when the pressure of SO3 is 0.10 atm.
