The liquid phase reaction A+H2O to B occurs in aqueous solution at 298 K. Initially A is loaded into the reactor at a concentration of 0.010 mol/L in water. At equilibrium, the reaction proceeds 55% of the way to completion. What is the activity coefficient of A in water? Assume that B forms an ideal solution with water. The Gibbs free energy of formation of pure liquid A is 41.5 kJ/mol, and for the pure liquid B it is -200 kJ/mol. What would be the equilibrium conversion of A if it formed an ideal solution with water?
