Question

Indicate whether

ΔG\Delta G

increases, decreases, or stays the same for each of the following reactions as the partial pressure of

O2O_2

is increased:

2H2O2(l)2H2O(l)+O2(g)2 \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } ( l ) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } ( l ) + \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } ( g )

Step 1
1 of 2

Given reaction :-

2H2_2O2_2(l) \rightarrow 2H2_2O(l) + O2_2(g)

Partial pressure is directly proportional to number of moles (as per ideal gas law).

Now, if partial pressure of O2_2 increases, then number of moles of O2_2 also increases and as per le chatelier's principle, it will try to reduce the number of moles of O2_2 by shifting equilibrium towards left.

As a result more moles of reactant will form and Δ\DeltaG^{\circ} increases and becomes more positive.
