Question: 1. Liquid acetaldehyde can trimerize into liquid paraldehyde in the presence of a catalyst according to the reaction: 3 CH 3 CHO (l) = [CH
1.Liquid acetaldehyde can trimerize into liquid paraldehyde in the presence of a catalyst according to the reaction:
3 CH3CHO(l) = [CH3CHO]3(l)
At 50 C, an equilibrium solution contains 58% (by mole) acetaldehyde. At 15 C, an equilibrium solution contains 12% (by mole) acetaldehyde.
Estimate the standard Gibbs Free Energy of Reaction and Heat of Reaction (at 25 C), assuming ideal solutions. (You may assume that the heat of reaction is constant with temperature)
