Question

What is the value for AG at 100 K if AH = 27 kJ/mol and AS = 0.09 kJ/mol.K)?

Answer 1

The value for ΔG = 18 kJ/mol

Further explanation

Given

ΔH = 27 kJ/mol and ΔS = 0.09 kJ/mol.K

T = 100 K

Required

the value for ΔG

Solution

The spontaneous process of a reaction is based on 2 factors :

• enthalpy change ΔH decreases and
• entropy change ΔS increases

ΔG=ΔH-T.ΔS

$\tt \Delta G=27~kJ/mol-100\times 0.09~kJ/mol.K\\\\\Delta G=18~kJ/mol$
