Question

12. The equilibrium constant for the reaction: AgBr(s) Ag (aq) Br (aq) AgBr(s) Ag+(aq) Br (aq) is the solubility product constant, K 7.7 x 10-13 at 25°C. Calculate AG for the reaction when [Ag+] 1.0 x 102 M and [Brn] 1.0 x 10-3 M. Is the reaction spontaneous or nonspontaneous at these concentrations? A. AG 69.1 kJ, non spontaneous B. AG 97.5 kJ, nonspontaneous C. AG 40.6 kJ, nonspontaneous D. AG 69.1 kJ, spontaneous E. AG 97.5 kJ, spontaneous 13. What is the vapor pressure (in mm Hg)of a solution made by dissolving 64.78 grams of sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) in 378.85 grams of water, H20, at 66 0C.The vapor pressure of pure water at 65 0C is 187.5 mm Hg. A. 187.1 mm Hg B. 186.6 mm Hg C. 184.0 mm H D. 174.4 mm H E. 163.0 mm Hg 14. Given that the normal freezing point of ammonia is -78°C. Predict the signs of AH, AS, and AG for ammonia when it freezes at -80°C and 1 atm. NH301) NH3(s) AH AS AG

Explanation / Answer

12]

G=Go+RTln(Q)

delta Go = -RT*lnKsp

Q = [Ag+] [Br-]

delta G = -RT*lnKsp + RT lnQ

T = 298 K

substituting all values

delta G = 40.6 KJ

delta G is postitve so it is non spontaeous reaction

Answer is C

13]

Moles of water = mass/molar mass = 21.0472

Moles of Na3PO4 = mass/Molarmass = 0.395

Pressure of solution = mole fraction of water *Pressure of pure water

P = 21.0472*187.5 / [21.0472+0.395] = 184 mm Hg

Answer is C

14]

liquid to solid ---> delta S decreases [ Delta S means randomness]

delta H ---> -ve [ energy releases]

delta G is negative at low temperatures as the process is exothermic one

Answer is B
