Calculate the reaction free energy of;

2H2(g) + O2(g) 2H2O(g)

when the concentrations are 0.026 mol L-1 (H2), 0.33 mol L-1 (O2), and 1.84 mol L-1 (H2O), and the temperature is 700K. For this reaction Kc = 45 at 700 K.

  1. @ equilibrium

    dGo = -RTlnK

    dGo = - 8.314 Joules(700K) (ln45)

    dGo = - 8.314 Joules(700K) 3.807

    dGo = -22,154 Joules

    ======================

    @ 0.026 mol L-1 (H2), 0.33 mol L-1 (O2), and 1.84 mol L-1 (H2O),

    dG = dGo + RTlnQ

    dG = -22,154 Joules + (8.314 Joules etc.)(700K) ln prod/reactants

    dG = -22,154 J + (5,820.) ln [H2O]^2 / [H2]^2 [O2]

    dG = -22,154 J + (5,820.) ln [1.84]^2 / [0.026]^2 [0.33]

    dG = -22,154 J + (5,820.) ln 15,177

    dG = -22,154 J + (5,820.) 9.628

    dG = -22,154 J + 56,032

    dG =+ 33,878

    your answer is (3 sig figs): +33.9 kJ

    but it is presented as a 2 sig fig problem, you should round off to 34Kj
