Answer:

D) both a and c are correct

Explanation:

The reaction rate is a measure of the speed of a chemical reaction. The factors that affects the rate of a chemical reaction are itemised below:

Nature of the reactants
Concentration of the reactants or pressure(if gaseous)
Temperature
Presence of catalyst
Sunlight

Our concern here is temperature. Temperature affects a reaction considerably. Average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature of the reacting particles. When the temperature of a reacting system is increase, the frequency of ordinary and effective collisions per unit time increases. A decrease in temperature implies that the number of collisions also decreases.

<u>Answer:</u> The $\Delta G$ for the reaction is 54.425 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given balanced chemical equation:

$CO_2(g)+CCl_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2COCl_2(g)$

We are given:

$\Delta G^o_f_{CO_2}=-394.4kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_f_{CCl_4}=-62.3kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_f_{COCl_2}=-204.9kJ/mol$

To calculate $\Delta G^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta G_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta G_f(reactant)]$

For the given equation:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta G^o_f_{(COCl_2)})]-[(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(CO_2)})+(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(CCl_4)})]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(2\times (-204.9))-((1\times (-394.4))+(1\times (-62.3)))]\\\Delta G^o_{rxn}=46.9kJ=46900J$

Conversion factor used = 1 kJ = 1000 J

The expression of $K_p$ for the given reaction:

$K_p=\frac{(p_{COCl_2})^2}{p_{CO_2}\times p_{CCl_4}}$

We are given:

$p_{COCl_2}=0.735atm\\p_{CO_2}=0.140atm\\p_{CCl_4}=0.185atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{(0.735)^2}{0.410\times 0.185}\\\\K_p=20.85$

To calculate the gibbs free energy of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta G=\Delta G^o+RT\ln K_p$

where,

$\Delta G$ = Gibbs' free energy of the reaction = ?

$\Delta G^o$ = Standard gibbs' free energy change of the reaction = 46900 J

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = Temperature = $25^oC=[25+273]K=298K$

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 20.85

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G=46900J+(8.314J/K.mol\times 298K\times \ln(20.85))\\\\\Delta G=54425.26J/mol=54.425kJ/mol$

Hence, the $\Delta G$ for the reaction is 54.425 kJ/mol
