Problem: Consider the following reaction:CH3OH(g) ⇌ CO(g) + 2H2(g)Calculate ΔG for this reaction at 25 °C under the following conditions:PCH3OH = 0.815 atmPCO = 0.125 atmPH2 = 0.175 atm

CH₃OH_(g) ⇌ CO_(g) + 2 H₂_(g)

We are given the following equilibrium pressures of each compound:

P_CH3OH = 0.815 atm

P_CO = 0.125 atm

P_H₂ = 0.175 atm

Consider the following reaction:

CH₃OH(g) ⇌ CO(g) + 2H₂(g)

Calculate ΔG for this reaction at 25 °C under the following conditions:
PCH₃OH = 0.815 atm
PCO = 0.125 atm
PH₂ = 0.175 atm
