Question

For carbonic acid (H_2CO_3), K_a1 = 4.30 Times 10^-7 and K_a2 = 5.62 Times10^-11 at 298 K. calculate the pH at 298 K for a 0.24 M solution of disodium carbonate (Na_2CO_3). Consider the reaction: 2 NO_2 (g) N_2O_4(g) The standard state Gibbs free energies of formation for NO_2 (g) and N_2O_4 (g) are 51.84 and 98.00 kJ mol^-1, respectively. What is Delta G degree for this reaction? Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction at 25 degree C. What is Delta G for the reaction at 25 degree C when both gases are at 1.5 atm pressure? As illustrated below, a strip of copper is placed m a 1.20 M solution of copper (II) nitrate and a strip of silver is placed in a 1.20 Times 10^-3 M solution of silver (I) nitrate. The two metal strips are connected to a voltmeter by wires and a salt bridge connects the solutions. Assuming that the electron flow is spontaneous from left to right as shown, what is the net cell reaction? What is the value of epsilon_cell? What is the value of epsilon_cell at the stated concentrations and 298 K ? What is the value of Delta G for the overall cell reaction at 298 K ? What maximum amount of work can the reaction yield?

Explanation / Answer

Ans for 6)

Given transformation,

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

Give thermodynamic data:

0G (NO2(g)) = +51.84 kJ/mol

0G (N2O4 (g)) = +98.00 kJ/mol

a) 0GRXN =?

Formula,

0GRXN = 0G of products - 0G of reactants.

0GRXN = [0G (N2O4 (g))] – [2 x 0G (NO2(g)]

0GRXN = (+98.00)- (2x +51.84)

0GRXN = (+98.00) –(103.68)

0GRXN = - 5.68 kJ/mol

0GRXN = - 5680 J/mol.

=======================

b) Relation between equilibrium constant Keq and 0GRXN is,

0GRXN = -RT ln(Keq)

We have T= 25 0C = 298.15 K, R = 8.314 J/K.mol, 0GRXN = - 5680 J/mol.

Let us put in above equation and solve it for Keq.

-5680 = - 8.314 x 298.15 x ln(Keq)

5680 = 2478.8 ln(Keq)

ln(Keq) = 5680/2478.8

ln(Keq) = 2.291

Keq = e2.291

Keq = 9.89

Equilibrium constant for given reaction at 25 0C is 9.89.

================================

c) Given transformation,

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

n = Number of gaseous products – Number of gaseous reactant

n = 1 – 2

n = -1

Kp = PN2O4/(PNO2)2

Kp = 1.5/(1.5)2 ………… (given data)

K= 1/1.5

K = 1/(3/2)

K = 2/3

Kp = 0.67

Again we have,

0GRXN = -RT ln(Kp)

And, Kp = 2/3 =0.67, T=298.15 K and R = 8.314 J/K.mol.

0GRXN = -8.314 x 298.15 x ln(2/3)

0GRXN = -8.314 x 298.15 x (-0.4055)

0GRXN = 1005.1 J/mol

0GRXN = 1.005 kJ/mol.

Gibbs free energy change at given condition is, +1.005 kJ/mol.
