Determine the equilibrium constant (K_p)at 25°C for the reaction CO(g)+ H₂O(g) $\rarr$ CO₂(g)+ H₂(g) $\Delta$G° = -28.5 kJ/mol.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium constant Kp can be calculated using the relation ΔG° = -RTlnK, where R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K) and T is the temperature in Kelvin (298 K for 25°C). Solving for K gives K = e^(-ΔG°/RT), which results in a large positive value, indicating a large Kp.
