Consider the decomposition of a metal oxide to its elements, where M represents a generic metal. M 3 O 4 ( s ) − ⇀ ↽ − 3 M ( s ) + 2 O 2 ( g ) What is the standard change in Gibbs energy for the reaction, as written, in the forward direction? Δ G ∘ rxn = kJ/mol What is the equilibrium constant of this reaction, as written, in the forward direction at 298 K? K = What is the equilibrium pressure of O2(g) over M(s) at 298 K? P O 2 = atm

a) ΔGrxn = 6.7 kJ/mol

b) K = 0.066

c) PO2 = 0.16 atm

Explanation:

a) The reaction is:

M₂O₃ = 2M + 3/2O₂

The expression for Gibbs energy is:

ΔGrxn = ∑Gproducts - ∑Greactants

Where

M₂O₃ = -6.7 kJ/mol

M = 0

O₂ = 0

b) To calculate the constant we have the following expression:

Where

ΔGrxn = 6.7 kJ/mol = 6700 J/mol

T = 298 K

R = 8.314 J/mol K

c) The equilibrium pressure of O₂ over M is:

answer: your mm

explanation:

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.
