Chapter 16, Problem 66E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reaction of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{S}$ and ${\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}$ , pressure of each reactant, product and value of temperature of this reaction is given. The value of $\Delta G$ is to be calculated by using data from Appendix $\text{4}$.

Concept introduction: Reaction quotient, $Q$, is the measure of concentration or partial pressure of reactants and products of a system before equilibrium point is reached.

The expression for free energy change is,

$\Delta G=\Delta G°+RT\ln \left(Q\right)$
