It can be anything with a big heat capacity like water
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 Milky Way is a SBc barred spiral galaxy.
