The surface of copper gets tarnished by the formation of copper oxide. N2{N}_{2} gas was passed to prevent the oxide formation during heating of copper at 1250 K. However, the N2{N}_{2} gas contains 1 mole % of water vapour as impurity. The water vapour oxidises copper as per the reaction given below: 2Cu(s)+H2O(g)→Cu2O(s)+H2(g)2Cu\left(s\right) + {H}_{2}O\left(g\right) \to C{u}_{2}O ( s ) + {H}_{2} ( g ) PH2{P}_{{H}_{2}} Is the minimum partial pressure of H2{H}_{2} (in bar) needed to prevent the oxidation at 1250 K. The value of ln⁡(pH2)\ln \left(p{H}_{2}\right) is ____. (Given: total pressure = 1 bar, R (universal gas constant) =8JK−1mol−1,ln⁡(10)=2.3.Cu(s)andCu2O(s)= 8J{K}^{- 1}mo{l}^{- 1}, \ln \left(10\right) = 2.3 . Cu ( s ) andC{u}_{2}O ( s ) are mutually immiscible. At 1250K:2Cu(s)+12O2(g)→Cu2O(s);∆G⊝=−78,000Jmol−11250K: 2Cu\left(s\right) + \dfrac{1}{2}{O}_{2}\left(g\right) \to C{u}_{2}O ( s ) ; ∆ {G}^{⊝} = - 78,000Jmo{l}^{- 1} H2(g)+12O2(g)→H2O(g);∆⊝=−1,78,000Jmol−1;G{H}_{2}\left(g\right) + \dfrac{1}{2}{O}_{2}\left(g\right) \to {H}_{2}O ( g ) ; {∆}^{⊝} = - 1,78,000Jmo{l}^{- 1}; G is the Gibbs energy)
