Answer:
Aqueous carbonic acid (H2CO3) decomposes into a carbon dioxide gas and liquid water. Write a balanced equation for this reaction? | Socratic Aqueous carbonic acid (H2CO3) decomposes into a carbon dioxide gas and liquid water.
Explanation:
Answer:
The standard change in free energy for the reaction = - 437.5 kj/mole
Explanation:
The standard change in free energy for the reaction:
4 KClO₃ (s) → 3 KClO₄(s) + KCl(s)
Given that ΔGf(KClO3(s)) = -290.9 kJ/mol;
ΔGf(KClO4(s)) = -300.4 kJ/mol;
ΔGf(KCl(s)) = -409 kJ/mol
According to Hess's law
ΔGr (Free energy change of reaction)= ∑(Product free energy - reactant free energy)
⇒ ΔGr⁰ = {3 x (-300.4) + (-409)} - {3 x (- 290.9)}
= - 901.2 - 409 + 872.7
= - 437.5 kj/mole
