Question:
For the reaction shown below, Δ G °rxn is 142 kJ. In which direction is the reaction spontaneous at 25°C, when the pressures of SO2, O2, and SO3 are 0.1 atm, 0.2 atm, and 1 × 10 -4 atm, respectively.
2 SO2( g ) + O2( g ) → 2 SO3( g )
The reverse reaction is spontaneous under these conditions.
The forward reaction is spontaneous under these conditions.
Neither the forward nor reverse reactions are spontaneous; it is at equilibrium under these conditions.
There is not enough information to determine whether the forward or reverse reaction is spontaneous under these conditions.
