The decomposition of a generic diatomic element in its standard state is represented by the equation

 

1/2 X2(g)⟶X(g)

 

Assume that the standard molar Gibbs energy of formation of X(g) is 5.58 kJ·mol−1 at 2000 K and −52.64 kJ·mol−1 at 3000. K. Determine the value of the thermodynamic equilibrium constant, ?K, at each temperature.

At 2000 K, ΔGf=5.58 kJ·mol−1. What is ? at that temperature?

At 3000 K, Δ?f=−52.64 kJ·mol−1. What is K at that temperature?
