A crucial reaction for the production of synthetic fuels is the production of H2 by reaction of coal with steam, The reaction is: C(s) + H2O(g) ↔ CO(g) + H2(g) Calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 850°C.
Actually, the carbon in CO2(g) is thermodynamically unstable with respect to the carbon in calcium carbonate(limestone). Verify this by determining the standardGibbs free energy change for the reaction of lime,CaO(s), with CO2(g) to make CaCO3(s).
the equilibrium constant at a temperature of 25 °C is determined to be K=603500. What can be concluded from this? Pick one: a) Since the value of the equilibrium constant is large, the reaction is fast b) The equilibrium of the reaction favors the reaction. However, it is not possible to be sure whether it is worth making ammonia using this method, because the reaction can be slow c) The reaction is spontaneous, but a large part of the starting material remains unreacted d) both enthalpy and entropy terms are favorable for the reaction
