In atmospheric chemistry, the following chemical reaction converts SO2, the predominant oxide of sulfur that comes from combustion of S-containing materials, to SO3, which can combine with H2O to make sulfuric acid (and thus contribute to acid rain):
(a) Write the expression for K for this equilibrium. (b) Calculate the value of ?G째 for this equilibrium using the ?fG째 values in Appendix
2. (c) Calculate the value of K for this equilibrium. (d) If 1.00 bar of SO2 and 1.00 bar of O2 are enclosed in a system in the presence of some SO3 liquid, in which direction would the reaction move?
