Answer:
Part 1: - 1.091 x 10⁴ J/mol.
Part 2: - 1.137 x 10⁴ J/mol.
Explanation:
Part 1: At standard conditions:
At standard conditions Kp= 81.9.
∵ ΔGrxn = -RTlnKp
∴ ΔGrxn = - (8.314 J/mol.K)(298.0 K)(ln(81.9)) = - 1.091 x 10⁴ J/mol.
Part 2: PICl = 2.63 atm; PI₂ = 0.324 atm; PCl₂ = 0.217 atm.
For the reaction:
I₂(g) + Cl₂(g) ⇌ 2ICl(g).
Kp = (PICl)²/(PI₂)(PCl₂) = (2.63 atm)²/(0.324 atm)(0.217 atm) = 98.38.
∵ ΔGrxn = -RTlnKp
∴ ΔGrxn = - (8.314 J/mol.K)(298.0 K)(ln(98.38)) = - 1.137 x 10⁴ J/mol.
When atoms bond together to form molecules, they share or give electrons. If the electrons are shared equally by the atoms, then there is no resulting charge and the molecule is nonpolar.
