Concepts and reason

The reaction is as follows:

1, (g)+Cl, (g) 2CI(g)

Calculate the Gibbs free energy change of the reaction by using the following formula.

|AG= AG° RT InQ

Here, AG is Gibbs free energy change in standard conditions,
R gas constant, T is temperature, and Q is reaction quotient

CalculateAG
by using the following formula.

AG° -RT InK

Here, K is the equilibrium constant of the reaction.

Calculate the reaction quotient as shown below.

Fundamentals

Change in the Gibbs free energy change when one mole of a substance is formed from its pure elements under standard conditions is called as standard free energy change. The standard conditions are 1atm pressure and 298K temperature.

At equilibrium Gibbs free energy of a reaction will be equal to zero.

(A)

AG° -RT InKp
AG 8.314 J/mol.K x 298K x In(81.9)
-8.314 J/mol x 298 x4.405
= -10913 J/mol
= -10.91 kJ/mol

Thus, standard Gibbs free energy change is -10.91 kJ/mol
.

B

At equilibrium Gibbs free energy change is zero.

AG 0

Now calculate AG by substituting -10.91 kJ/mol for AG°, 8.314 J/mol.K for R,
298K for T, and 94.26 for Q.
