<span>All 4 C-H bonds are identical.

Hybridisation or hybridization is the idea of blending atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals, with various energies, shapes, and so on, than the component atomic orbitals, appropriate for the matching of electrons to make chemical bonds in valence bond theory.

CO2(g)+CCl4(g)⇌2COCl2(g) Calculate ΔG for this reaction at 25 ∘C under these conditions: PCO2PCCl4PCOCl2===0.140 atm0.185 atm0.7

<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
