Question

For a particular reaction at 235.8 °C, ΔG=−936.92 kJ/mol , and ΔS=513.79 J/(mol⋅K) . Calculate ΔG for this reaction at −9.9 °C.

Answer 1

Answer:

-138.9 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert 235.8°C to the Kelvin scale

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15 = 235.8°C + 273.15 = 509.0 K

Step 2: Calculate the standard enthalpy of reaction (ΔH°)

We will use the following expression.

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

ΔH° = ΔG° / T.ΔS°

ΔH° = (-936.92kJ/mol) / 509.0K × 0.51379 kJ/mol.K

ΔH° = -3.583 kJ (for 1 mole of balanced reaction)

Step 3: Convert -9.9°C to the Kelvin scale

K = °C + 273.15 = -9.9°C + 273.15 = 263.3 K

Step 4: Calculate ΔG° at 263.3 K

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

ΔG° = -3.583 kJ/mol - 263.3 K × 0.51379 kJ/mol.K

ΔG° = -138.9 kJ/mol
