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>)
The answer is B
If one circuit fails, it is most likely that all the components in the circuit will fail.
Pressure varies in the atmosphere because air molecules are being pulled down towards the center of the earth-hope this helps!
So you have evidence that the experiment is true or correct.
