Calculating thermodynamic quantities for hydrogenation of iron nitride
HW#6.3 If the reaction
$$\ce{Fe2N(s) + 3/2 H2(g) <=> 2 Fe(s) + NH3(g)}$$
comes to an equilibrium at a total pressure of $\pu{1 bar},$ analysis of the gas shows that at $\pu{700 K}$ and $\pu{800 ...

If change in free energy (G) is positive, how do those reactions still occur?
I was doing a couple of problems for homework:
Calculate $K_\mathrm{sp}$ of $\ce{AgI}$ at $55.0\ \mathrm{^\circ C}$
Calculate $K_\mathrm{b}$ of $\ce{NH3}$ at $36.0\ \mathrm{^\circ C}$
I have to use ...

Why does standard reduction potential get multiplied by the change in oxidation state and not by the number of electrons transferred?
The whole basis of Frost diagrams is to have a graphical representation of the Gibbs free energy of formation ($\Delta{G}_{f}$) of different oxidation states of an element using the proportional ...
