Question
For the physical equilibrium $H_2O(l) \rightleftharpoons H_2O(g)$, the standard free energy change $\Delta G^\circ$ can be directly calculated if which of the following is experimentally known at the given temperature?
Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
The equilibrium constant for this heterogeneous phase change is exactly $K_p = P_{H_2O}$ (Vapour Pressure). Thus, applying the isotherm equation yields $\Delta G^\circ = -RT \ln(P_{H_2O})$.
