Using standard thermodynamic data from Appendix L of your text, calculate the equilibrium constant at 298 K for the following chemical reaction:

CO(g) + H2O(l) CO2(g) + H2(g).

Show work please!

Thank you!!!

Follow these directions.
Look up the delta Go f (that's delta Gof of each of the products and each of the reactants. Pure elements like H2 are zero but the others are not.

Then calculate dGo f for the reaction by
dGofrxn = (n*dGf products) - (n*dGf reactants)
Finally, dG = -RTln*K

Then d
