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