(a)
Interpretation:
The ΔG° has to be calculated at 25°C for the reaction of SO2 to form SO3 at standard conditions. The reaction is spontaneous or not has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Standard state free energy of formation (ΔG°):
It is the difference between the free energy of a substance and the free energy of its elements in
It can be calculated by the following expression:
ΔG°=∑ΔG°fproducts-∑ΔG°freactants
If ΔG°> 0, the reaction is non-spontaneous.
