For the gaseous reaction of carbon monoxide and chlorine to form phosgene (COCl₂)
Perform the following calculations:
A) Calculate ΔS at 298 K (ΔH= -220 kJ/mol and ΔG= -206 kJ/mol
B) Assuming that ΔS and ΔH change little with temperature, calculate ΔG at 450 K.
Answer :
(a) The value of ΔS at 298 K is, -0.0469 kJ/mol.K
(b) The value of ΔG at 450 K is, -199 kJ/mol
Explanation :
(a) According to Gibb's equation:
= Gibbs free energy = -206 kJ/mol
= enthalpy change = -220 kJ/mol
= entropy change = ?
T = temperature in Kelvin = 298 K
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Thus, the value of ΔS at 298 K is, -0.0469 kJ/mol.K
(b) According to Gibb's equation:
= Gibbs free energy = ?
= enthalpy change = -220 kJ/mol
= entropy change = -0.0469 kJ/mol.K
T = temperature in Kelvin = 450 K
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Thus, the value of ΔG at 450 K is, -199 kJ/mol

The arrangement of molecules within the 3 phases of matter are shown in the picture.
For the solid, the molecules are packed closely together. They don't have much space to move, so they just practically vibrate. For the liquid, the molecules are relatively farther from each other. The liquid molecules can flow freely but not as much as the gases. In the gases, the molecules are very far from each other. They are very sensitive to slight changes of pressure, volume and temperature.
