Explanation / Answer

1) Given reaction

2NO2 (g) <------------> N2O4 (g)

Gfo [NO2(g)] = +51.9 kJ/mol

Gfo [N2O4(g)] = + 98.3 kJ/mol

Go = Gfo(products) - Gfo( reactants)

= Gfo [N2O4(g)] - (2) Gfo [NO2(g)]

= 98.3 kJ/mol - (2) 51.9 kJ/mol

= -5.5 kJ/mol

= -5500 J/mol

Therefore, Go = -5500 J/mol

Calculation of Equilibrium constant K :

Go = -RT ln K where R = 8.314 J/mol/K

T = 25oC = 298 K

K = e -(Go/RT)  

= e-[ -5500/ (8.314 x 298)]

= 9.21

K = 9.21

Therefore, Equilibrium constant, K = 9.21

2)   3/2 H2 (g) + 1/4 P4 (g) <------------> PH3 (g)

Gfo [H2(g)] = 0 kJ/mol

Gfo [P4(g)] = 0 kJ/mol

Gfo [PH3(g)] = + 18.4 kJ/mol

Go = Gfo(products) - Gfo( reactants)

= Gfo [PH3(g)] - { (3/2) Gfo [H2(g)] +  (1/4) Gfo [P4(g)]}

= 18.4 kJ/mol - { 0 + 0}

= 18.4 kJ/mol

= 18400 J/mol

Therefore, Go = 18400 J/mol

Calculation of Equilibrium constant K :

Go = -RT ln K where R = 8.314 J/mol/K

T = 25oC = 298 K

K = e -( Go/RT)  

= e -[18400/ (8.314 x 298)]

= 5.95 x10-4

K = 5.95 x10-4

Therefore, Equilibrium constant, K = 5.95 x10-4
