Obtain the standard free energy change for the reaction


Problem

Atmospheric reactions in hydrometeors (rain, fog, mist, and dew) produce aldehydes and ketones. Consider the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetaldehyde in fog droplets. The reaction is CH3-C(O)-COOH (g) → CH3CHO (g) + CO2(g).

(a) Obtain the standard free energy change for the reaction at 298 K.

(b) What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction at 298 K?

The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
