Equilibrium. Nitric acid is formed by the gas-phase hydrolysis of N?O5. The reaction equation is: N?Os(g) + H?O(g) ? 2HNO3(g) When the reaction is performed at 25°C, the equilibrium concentrations are: [N?O5] = 0.025 M. [H?O) = 0.125 M. and [HNO3] = 0,005 M. 1) Calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction. 2) What is the Gibbs free energy, AGO, for this reaction? 3) Explain whether the reaction spontaneous or non-spontaneous and WHY? 4) The activation energy for the forward reaction is 15 kJ/mol and the activation energy for the reverse reaction is 51 kJ/mol. the reaction exothermic or endothermic? EXPLAIN!
