Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction

Reference no: EM13701408

Problem- Acetic acid is commercially produced by reaction of methanol with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst.

CH3OH + CO yield(catalyst) CH3COOH

a) Calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 25oC from DGo. Is this reaction spontaneous at this temperature?

b) 0.5 atm of each reagent is placed inside a sealed container and reacted. What temperature does the reaction have to be heated to in order to be spontaneous?

c) How does catalyst removal affect DG? Why?

Please show the entire work. I am thanking you in advance
