Murphy's law is a whimsical rule that says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. But in an article in the Journal of Chemical Education, Frank Lambert writes, "Murphy's law is a fraud." He also writes, "The second law of thermodynamics is time's arrow, but chemical kinetics is its clock." Read Lambert's article (J. Chem. Ed., 74(8), 1997, p. 947), and write an essay explaining, in the context of the latter quotation, why Lambert claims that Murphy's law is a fraud.

The answers in exercise 5.23 should show that changing the partial pressure changes the instantaneous rxnG even though the ratio of partial pressures stays the same that is, 1:1:1 for standard pressure conditions is equal to 0.5:0.5:0.5 for the given conditions. This suggests the interesting possibility that at some equal partial pressure p of all components, the reaction reverses; that is, the instantaneous rxnG becomes negative. Determine p for this equilibrium. You will have to use the properties of logarithms as mentioned in the chapter to find the answer.
