Consider the reaction shown below.
PbCO3(s) PbO(s) +
CO2(g)
Calculate the equilibrium pressure of CO2 in the
system at the following temperatures.
(a) 280°C
atm
(b) 440°C
atm
Note: To find the value of the equilibrium constant at each
temperature you must first find the value of G0 at each temperature by using
the equation
G0 = H0 - TS0
For this reaction the values are H0 = +88.3 kJ/mol
and S0= 151.3 J/mol*K
