Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(10 \mathrm{atm}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For the reaction, \(2 \mathrm{SO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{SO}_{3}(g)\) Given that, \(\Delta G^{\circ}=-690.9 R, T=300 \mathrm{K}\) From the formula, \(\Delta G^{\circ}=-R T \ln K\) \(-690.9 R=-R \times 300 \times \ln K\) or…
