Calculate the standard enthalpy change of the reaction below at 298K.Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO2(g)Given the following standard enthalpies of formation (ΔHf°):ΔHf°[Fe2O3(s)] = -824.2 kJ/molΔHf°[Fe(s)] = 0 kJ/molΔHf°[CO(g)] = -110.5 kJ/molΔHf°[CO2(g)] = -393.5 kJ/mol. Also, calculate the change in standard entropy of the system (ΔS°) and determine whether the reaction is spontaneous or not.

A chemistry student needs to calculate the equilibrium constant for the following reaction:2 H2O(g) ⇌ 2 H2(g) + O2(g)The student has the initial concentration of H2 and O2 as 0.25 M and the initial concentration of H2O as 1.00 M. After the system reaches equilibrium, the student measures the concentration of H2 as 0.10 M. Using this information, what is the value of the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the above reaction?
