Question

Try computing this problem. Find the value of equilibrium (K) in this problem. .

The reaction of CO2 with water to form carbonic acid (H2CO3) is written as follows:

CO2(g) + H2O = H2CO3(aq)

ΔGf° -394.37 -237.18 -623.2 in kJ mol-1

and

ΔGr° = -623.2 - (-394.37) - (-237.18) = +8.35 kJ mol-1

Answer 1

CO2(g) + H2O = H2CO3(aq)

= 8.35 kj
