Staining specimen with heavy metal salts (e.g. tungsten, molybdenum) allows you to see the specimen better with higher contrast when electron beam deflects off of your sample.
Answer:
-255.4 kJ
Explanation:
The free energy of a reversible reaction can be calculated by:
ΔG = (ΔG° + RTlnQ)*n
Where R is the gas constant (8.314x10⁻³ kJ/mol.K), T is the temperature in K, n is the number of moles of the products (n =1), and Q is the reaction quotient, which is calculated based on the multiplication of partial pressures by the partial pressure of the products elevated by their coefficient divide by the multiplication of the partial pressure of the reactants elevated by their coefficients.
C₂H₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇄ C₂H₆(g)
Q = pC₂H₆/[pC₂H₂ * (pH₂)²]
Q = 0.261/[8.58*(3.06)²]
Q = 3.2487x10⁻³
ΔG = -241.2 + 8.314x10⁻³x298*ln(3.2487x10⁻³)
ΔG = -255.4 kJ
