Question

sing any data you can find in the ALEKS Data resource, calculate the equilibrium constant K at 25.0°C for the following reaction. C(s)+ 2Cl2(g)→ CCl4(g) Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer 1

Answer:

2.76 × 10⁻¹¹  

Explanation:

I don’t have access to the ALEKS Data resource, so I used a different source. The number may be different from yours.

1. Calculate the free energy of formation of CCl₄

                         C(s)+ 2Cl₂(g)→ CCl₄(g)

ΔG°/ mol·L⁻¹:       0         0         -65.3

ΔᵣG° = ΔG°f(products) - ΔG°f(reactants) = -65.3 kJ·mol⁻¹

2. Calculate K

$\text{The relationship between \Delta G^{\circ} and K is}\\\Delta G^{\circ} = -RT \ln K$

T = (25.0 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

$\begin{array}{rcl}-65 300 & = & -8.314 \times 298.15 \ln K \\65300& = & 2479 \ln K\\26.34 & = & \ln K\\K& = & e^{26.34}\\&= & \mathbf{2.76 \times 10}^{\mathbf{11}}\\\end{array}$
