Question

In the upper atmosphere, ozone is produced from oxygen gas in the following reaction.

3O2(g) → 2O3(g)

Assume an atmosphere where p(O2) = 0.075 atm, and where T = 298 K. Below what pressure of O3 will ozone production be spontaneous? (Enter your answer in atm).

((Use the formula ΔG=ΔGo + RTlnQ for this reaction, and plug in the known ΔGo, T and p(O2) for an overall ΔG=0, and solve for p(O3). Be careful not to round off on your calculator for this one.))
