Explanation / Answer

From the calculation of the thermodynamic parameters for these reactions:

SO3(g) + H2O(l) H2SO4(ia)

SO3(g) + H2O(l) H2SO4(l)

a) Compare between H2SO4(ia) and H2SO4(l)

H2SO4(ia)

H2SO4(l)

     More exothermic

    Less exothermic

1Hf is more negative

1Hf is less negative

S0 is more negative

S0 is less negative

G0 is more negative

G0 is less negative

The value for K is large, products dominate the mixture.

The value for K is smaller than (ia), products is less dominate the mixture.

TS is more

TS is less

In this caseH0 and S0 for both reactions is negative, so reaction proceeds at low temperature.

b) Reaction (ia) represent the actual process

ENTHALPY OF REACTION-

[1Hf(H2SO4 (aq))] - [1Hf(SO3 (g)) + 1Hf(H2O (l))]

[1(-909.27)] - [1(-395.72) + 1(-285.83)] = -227.72 kJ

-227.72 kJ     (exothermic)

ENTROPY CHANGE-

[1Sf(H2SO4 (aq))] - [1Sf(SO3 (g)) + 1Sf(H2O (l))]

[1(20.08)] - [1(256.65) + 1(69.91)] = -306.48 J/K

-306.48 J/K     (decrease in entropy)

FREE ENERGY OF REACTION (AT 300 K)

From Gf° values:

[1Gf(H2SO4 (aq))] - [1Gf(SO3 (g)) + 1Gf(H2O (l))]

[1(-744.63)] - [1(-371.08) + 1(-237.18)] = -136.37 kJ

-136.37 kJ     (spontaneous)

From G = H - TS:

-136.34 kJ     (spontaneous)

EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT, K (AT300 K)

7.8E+23

This process is favorable at 300K

H2SO4(ia)

H2SO4(l)

     More exothermic

    Less exothermic

1Hf is more negative

1Hf is less negative

S0 is more negative

S0 is less negative

G0 is more negative

G0 is less negative

The value for K is large, products dominate the mixture.

The value for K is smaller than (ia), products is less dominate the mixture.

TS is more

TS is less
