If you really keep an eye on the flow chart, the only ions you can consider as being "Definitely not present" are: Cr3+, Fe3+, and Zn2+. The rest of the ions should be considered under "Possibly present", as we cannot conclude if any of the ions are "Definitely present".
One of the products of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide
Answer:
The reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: </u>Data given
H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g) ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol
Temperature = 25°C = 25+273 = 298 Kelvin
The initial pressures are:
pH2 = 3.10 atm
pI2 = 1.5 atm
pHI 1.75 atm
<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate ΔG
ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q
with ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol
with R = 8.3145 J/K*mol
with T = 298 Kelvin
Q = the reaction quotient → has the same expression as equilibrium constant → in this case Kp = [p(HI)]²/ [p(H2)] [p(I2)]
with pH2 = 3.10 atm
pI2 = 1.5 atm
pHI 1.75 atm
Q = (3.10²)/(1.5*1.75)
Q = 3.661
ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q
ΔG = 2600 J/mol + 8.3145 J/K*mol * 298 K * ln(3.661)
ΔG =5815.43 J/mol = 5.815 kJ/mol
To be spontaneous, ΔG should be <0.
ΔG >>0 so the reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.
