A metal salt with the formula MCl2MCl2 crystallizesfrom water to form a solid with thecomposition MCl2⋅6H2OMCl2⋅6H2O. The equilibrium vapor pressureof water above this solid at 298 KK is11.8 mmHgmmHg .
Part A: What is the value of ΔGΔG for thereaction MCl2⋅6H2O(s)⇌MCl2(s)+6H2O(g)MCl2⋅6H2O(s)⇌MCl2(s)+6H2O(g) whenthe pressure of water vapor is 11.8 mmHgmmHg ?
Part B: What is the value of ΔGΔG when thepressure of water vapor is 760 mmHgmmHg (standardpressure)?
