What is the approximate value of the equilibrium constant KP for the change C2H5OC2H5(l)C2H5OC2H5(g) at 25 C. {Vapor pressure was described in the previous Chapter on liquids and solids; refer back to this chapter to find the relevant information needed to solve this problem.)
The equilibrium constant for the butane iso-butane equilibrium at 25 C is 2.50. Calculate rG at this temperature in units of kJ/mol.
If wet silver carbonate is dried in a stream of hot air. the air must have a certain concentration level of carbon dioxide to prevent silver carbonate from decomposing by the reaction Ag2CO3(s)Ag2O(s)+CO2(g) H for this reaction is 79.14 kJ/mol in the temperature range of 25 to 125C. Given that the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in equilibrium with pure solid silver carbonate is 6.23 103 torr at 25C, calculate the partial pressure of CO2 necessary to prevent decomposition ofAg2CO3 at 110C.
