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:

because u need two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei to form isotopes.

so since they all have the same shape? i mean maybe because m& m and reeses are both chocolates

your answer is a. the enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always positive.
