Chapter 16, Problem 16.94SP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

$\Delta G$ for the reaction of $S{O}_2$ with gaseous $O_2$ has to be calculated when partial pressure of $S{O}_2,O_2{\text{ and SO}}_3$ are $100\text{ atm, 100 atm and 1}\text{.0 atm}$ respectively.

Concept Introduction:

$\Delta G$ refers to free energy change.   Free energy change of a reaction under nonstandard-state conditions is determined as,

$\Delta G=\Delta G°+\text{ RT ln Q}$

Where,

$\begin{array}{l}\Delta G=\text{ free energy of reaction u}ndernons\tan dard-stateconditions\\ \Delta G°=\text{ standard free energy}\\ R=\text{ Universal gas constant}\\ \text{T}=\text{ Temperature}\\ \text{Q}\text{= Reaction quotient}\end{array}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

$\Delta G$ for the reaction of $S{O}_2$ with gaseous $O_2$ has to be calculated when partial pressure of $S{O}_2,O_2{\text{ and SO}}_3$ are $2.0\text{ atm, 1}\text{.0 atm and 10 atm}$ respectively.

Concept Introduction:

$\Delta G$ refers to free energy change.   Free energy change of a reaction under nonstandard-state conditions is determined as,

$\Delta G=\Delta G°+\text{ RT ln Q}$
