Question

Consider the decomposition of a metal oxide to its elements, where M represents a generic metal.

Substance ΔG°f(kJ/mol)
M2O(s) −8.40
M(s) 0
O2(g) 0

 

M2O(s)↽−−⇀ 2M(s)+12O2(g)

What is the standard change in Gibbs energy for the reaction, as written, in the forward direction?

Δ?∘rxn= 
 
kJ/mol
What is the equilibrium constant of this reaction, as written, in the forward direction at 298 K?
?=
