Chapter 16, Problem 16.98SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

$K_p$ for the reaction of $S{O}_2$ with $O_2$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Standard free energy change and equilibrium constant of a reaction involving gases are related as

$\Delta G°=-{\text{ RT ln K}}_p$

Where,

$\begin{array}{l}\Delta G°=\text{ standard free energy change}\\ R=\text{ Universal gas constant}\\ \text{T}=\text{ Temperature}\\ {\text{K}}_p\text{= equilibrium constant for a gaseous reaction}\end{array}$
