We are asked to find the value of ΔG°rxn from the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products. We can use the following formula:
ΔG°rxn = -RTlnK
The value of R = 8.314 J/Kmol, T = 298.15 K and we are given the equilibrium constant Keq = 2.82.
The question provides equilibrium concentrations and then asks to find ΔG°rxn when more of a product is added to the reaction mixture. However, you are asked to find ΔG after the reaction has settled down and reached equilibrium once more. Therefore, we can simply use Keq = 2.82 still and solve for ΔG.
ΔG°rxn = -(8.314 J/Kmol)(298.15 K)(ln(2.82))
ΔG°rxn = -2570 J/mol
ΔG°rxn = -2.57 kJ/mol
Under equilibrium conditions at standard temperature and pressures, the value of ΔG°rxn = -2.57 kJ/mol.
NaCl and H2O.
The products are typically the elements/compounds on the right side of the equation or the right side of the arrow. The left side of the arrow would be the reactants of the equation.
