Rhodium. FYI google it lol would have been faster
Answer:
ΔG = -61.5 kJ/mol (<u>Spontaneous process</u>)
Explanation:
2 NO (g) + O₂ (g) ⇄ 2NO₂ (g)
Let's apply the thermodynamic formula to calculate the ΔG
ΔG = ΔG° + R .T . lnQ
We don't know if the gases are at equilibrium, that's why we apply Q (reaction quotient)
ΔG = - 69 kJ/mol + 8.31x10⁻³ kJ/K.mol . 298K . ln Q
How can we know Q? By the partial pressures (Qp)
P NO = 0.450atm
PO₂ = 0.1 atm
PNO₂ = 0.650 atm
Qp = [NO₂]² / [NO]² . [O₂]
Qp = 0.650² / 0.450² . 0.1 = 20.86
ΔG = - 69 kJ/mol + 8.31x10⁻³ kJ/K.mol . 298K . ln 20.86
ΔG = -61.5 kJ/mol (<u>Spontaneous process</u>)
Answer:
The molecule has a bent geometry
Explanation:
Let us look again at the principles of VSEPR theory. The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.
Lone pairs distort the molecular geometry away from what is expected on the basis of VSEPR theory.
The molecule described in the question has the form AEX2. Two substituents and one lone pair form three electron domains around the central atom. The expected geometry is trigonal planar but the observed molecular geometry is bent because of the lone pairs present.
Substances have more kinetic energy in the gas state than in the solid state
