Which statement about the hydrations of sulfur trioxide is correct?
SO3(g) + H2O(g) ---> H2SO4
delta(H) = -227 kJ/mol, delta(S )= -309 J/mol-K
A.At 1,000oC, G = 1.98 X 105 J/mol.
B.The reaction would be at equilibrium at about 735 K.
C.The reaction is spontaneous at 1,400 K.
D. deltaG can be negative only at high temperatures.
E. None of the above
Well this little bugger is making me angry. I'll try to show you what I did step by step.
1st scenario: At 1000 C , equation would look like.
deltaG= -227kJ/mol - 1273K * (-.309kJ/mol*K)=166
NO Match
2nd scenario:
deltaG= -227kJ/mol - 735K * (-.309kJ/mol*K)=.115
No Match
3rd scenario.
deltaG= -227kJ/mol - 1400K * (-.309kJ/mol*K)=205.6
Nope
4th scenario
Well according to my notes, deltaG is positive at high temperatures.
Nope
5th scenario: None of the above.
Since all others didn't make sense , I went with this answer:
But guess what??? I was wrong.
What did I do wrong? I went over it
