The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time.
Reactions that happen quickly have a high rate of reaction. For example, the chemical weathering of rocks is a very slow reaction: it has a low rate of reaction. Explosions are very fast reactions: they have a high rate of reaction. Rate of reaction is an example of a compound measure.
Answer:
ΔG = - 442.5 KJ/mol
Explanation:
Data Given
delta H = -472 kJ/mol
delta S = -108 J/mol K
So,
delta S = -0.108 J/mol K
delta Gº = ?
Solution:
The answer will be calculated by the following equation for the Gibbs free energy
G = H - TS
Where
G = Gibbs free energy
H = enthalpy of a system (heat
T = temperature
S = entropy
So the change in the Gibbs free energy at constant temperature can be written as
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS . . . . . . (1)
Where
ΔG = Change in Gibb’s free energy
ΔH = Change in enthalpy of a system
ΔS = Change in entropy
if system have standard temperature then
T = 273.15 K
Now,
put values in equation 1
ΔG = (-472 kJ/mol) - 273.15 K (-0.108 KJ/mol K)
ΔG = (-472 kJ/mol) - (-29.5 KJ/mol)
ΔG = -472 kJ/mol + 29.5 KJ/mol
ΔG = - 442.5 KJ/mol
