Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reaction corresponding to the formation of HOCl(g) , its equilibrium constant at 298K and values of ΔGf°,ΔHf°,S° are given. The questions are to be answered on the basis of the given data.

Concept introduction: Equilibrium constant, K , is defined as the ratio of the concentration of products to that of the reactants at equilibrium. If a given reaction is at equilibrium, the free energy change is,

ΔG=0Q=K

ΔG°=RTln(K)

The formula of ΔS° is,

ΔS°=npΔS°(product)nfΔS°(reactant)

To determine: The value of ΔG° for the given reaction, using the equation ΔG°=RTln(K) .

### Explanation of Solution

Given

Temperature is 298K .

The value of equilibrium constant is 0.090 .

The stated reaction is,

H2O(g)+Cl2O(g)2HOCl(g)

Formula

ΔG°=RTln(K)

Where,

• ΔG° is the standard Gibbs free energy change.
• R is the gas law constant (8.3145J/Kmol) .
• T is the absolute temperature.
• K is the equilibrium constant.

Substitute the values of R,T and K in the above expression.

ΔG°=RTln(K)=(8.3145J/Kmol)(298K)ln(0
