Calculate a) ΔG0 and b) the equili | Class 11 Chemistry Chapter Equilibrium, Equilibrium NCERT Solutions

Question:

Calculate a) ΔG0 and b) the equilibrium constant for the formation of NO2 from NO and O2 at 298K

NO (g) + ½ O2 (g) NO2 (g)

where ΔfG0 (NO2) = 52.0 kJ/mol

ΔfG0 (NO) = 87.0 kJ/mol

ΔfG0 (O2) = 0 kJ/mol

Answer:

(a) For the given reaction,

ΔG° = ΔG°( Products) - ΔG°( Reactants)

ΔG° = 52.0 -{87.0 + 0} = -35.0 kJ mol-1

(b) We know that,

ΔG° = RT log Kc

ΔG° = 2.303 RT log Kc

Hence, the equilibrium constant for the given reaction Kc is 1.36 × 106
