Consider the decomposition of a metal oxide to its elements, where M represents a generic metal.
M203(s)2M(s)+32O2(g)
info given for Gf(kJmol):
M203=6.70
M(s)=0
O2(g)=0
what is the standard change in Gibbs energy for r×n as written in forward direction? (kJ/mol)
What is the equilibrium constant (K) of this r×n, as written in forward direction at 298K?
What is the equilibrium pressure of O2(g) over M(s) at 298K? (atm)

Step 1
Given reaction:
M2O3(s)2M(s)+32O2(g)
Given:
M2O3=6.70kJmol
M(s)=0
O2(s)=0
Calculation:
ΔGr×n0=ΔGucts0ΔGrectants0
=[(2×0)+(32×0)][1×6.70]
ΔGr×n0=6.70kJmol
Step 2
Given:
T=298K
R=gas constant (8.314JmolK)
ΔG0=6.7kJmol
=6.7kJ×1000JkJ
ΔG0=6700Jmol
Calculation:
lnK=ΔG0RT
=6700Jmol8.314JmolK×298K
lnK=2.704
K=e(2.704)
K=0.0669
Step 3
M2O3(s)2M(s)+32O2(g)
K=p32O2(g)
pO2(g)=K23
K=0.0669
pO2(g)=(0.0669)23
pO2(g)=0.164at

Step 1
M2O3(s)ftharpns2M(s)+32O2(g)
ΔG0=npΔGp0nrΔGr0
2(0)+32(0)(6.7)
ΔG06.7kJmol
Step 2
ΔG0=RTln(K)
ln(K)=ΔG0RT
ln(K)=6.7×1038.314×298=2.704
K=0.067
Step 3
ΔG0=RTln(Kp)
Kp=(PO2)32
ΔG0=RTln[(PO2)32]
ln[(PO2)32]=ΔG0RT
ln[(PO2)32=2.704
(PO2)32=e2.704
(PO2)32=0.067
PO2=0.017atm
