Gibbs Free Energy & Equilibrium
19. Chemical Thermodynamics / Gibbs Free Energy And Equilibrium / Problem 2

For the reaction 2 HgO(s) → 2 Hg(l) + O2(g), use the given thermodynamic data to calculate the equilibrium pressure of O2 in a 1.5 L vessel that contains 10 g of HgO at 350 ºC. Use the assumption that ΔHº and ΔSº do not vary with temperature.

Thermodynamic data for HgO, Hg, and O2 relevant to Gibbs Free Energy calculations.
