Explanation / Answer

1. Determine G°rx (in kJ) for this reaction at 567.27 K. Assume H°f and S° do not vary as a function of temperature. Report your answer to two decimal places

dG°rx = dH°rx - T dS°rx

First calculate the dH°rx and dS°rx for this reaction:

dH°rx = dH product – dH reactants

dH°rx = -201.40 kJ/mol – (-45.94 kJ/mol+ 26.36 kJ/mol)

dH°rx = -181.82 kJ/mol

dS°rx = dS product – dS reactants

dS°rx = 186.90 J/mol – (192.77 J/mol+ 206.59 J/mol)

dS°rx = -212.46 J/mol

dS°rx = - 0.2125 K J/mol

Now use this reaction:

dG°rx = dH°rx - T dS°rx

T= 567.27 K

dG°rx = -181.82 kJ/mol - 567.27 K* - 0.2125 K J/mol

dG°rx = -61.3 kJ/mol

2. Determine the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 567.27 K. Report your answer to three significant figures in scientific notation.

ln K eq = - dG0 / RT

or

K eq = e^- dG0 / RT

K eq = e^- dG0 / RT

Here, dG0= -61.3 kJ/mol

R = 0.008314 kJ mol-1 K-1. , T=567.27 K

K eq = e^ - (-61.3 kJ/mol ) / 0.008314 kJ mol-1 K-1. * 567.27 K

K eq = e^ 61.3 kJ/mol / 4.72kJ mol-1

K eq = e^ 12.98

K eq =4.34*10^5

3. If the partial pressure of HI is 7.87 atm and the partial pressure of NH3 is 5.81 atm, determine G (in kJ) for this reaction at 567.27 K. Report your answer to two decimal places in standard notation (i.e. 123.45 kJ)

To calculate the dG at 567.27 K use the following expression

dG = dGo + R T ln Q.

dG = -61.3 kJ/mol + 0.008314 kJ mol-1 K-1* 567.27 K ln 1/ 5.81 *7.87

dG = -61.3 kJ/mol + 0.008314 kJ mol-1 K-1* 567.27 K ln 1/ 45.72

dG = -61.3 kJ/mol + 0.008314 kJ mol-1 K-1* 567.27 K *(3.822)

dG=-61.3 kJ/mol - 18.028 kJ/mol

dG = 43.27 kJ/mol
