Radioactive decay happens when an unstable atomic nucleus spontaneously changes to a lower-energy state and spits out a bit of radiation. This process changes the atom to a different element or a different isotope

What is the value of for this aqueous reaction at 298 K? <br><br>A+B↽⇀C+D ΔG°=12.86 kJ/mol<br><br>K=
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The equilbrium constant is 179.6

Explanation:

To solve this question we can use the equation:

ΔG = -RTlnK

<em>Where ΔG is Gibbs free energy = 12.86kJ/mol</em>

<em>R is gas constant = 8.314x10⁻³kJ/molK</em>

<em>T is absolute temperature = 298K</em>

<em>And K is equilibrium constant.</em>

Replacing:

12.86kJ/mol = -8.314x10⁻³kJ/molK*298K lnK

5.19 = lnK

e^5.19 = K

179.6 = K

<h3>The equilbrium constant is 179.6</h3>
