The standard Gibbs free energy of reaction
Answer to Problem 97GQ
The value of standard Gibbs free energy of reaction
The value of standard Gibbs free energy of reaction
The value of standard Gibbs free energy of reaction
The relative tendency of given carbonates to decompose is written as,
Explanation of Solution
If the value of standard Gibbs free energy of reaction
The value of standard Gibbs free energy of reaction
Given:
Refer to the appendix L for the value of standard Gibbs free energy of formation
The
The value of standard Gibbs free energy of formation
The value of standard Gibbs free energy of formation
The value of standard Gibbs free energy of formation
Substitute these values in equation (1) to calculate the value of standard Gibbs free energy of reaction
Therefore, the value of standard Gibbs free energy of reaction
The chemical reaction of decomposition of calcium carbonate
The value of standard Gibbs free energy of formation
The value of standard Gibbs free energy of formation
The value of standard Gibbs free energy of formation
Substitute these values in equation (1) to calculate the value of standard Gibbs free energy of reaction
Therefore, the value of standard Gibbs free energy of reaction
The chemical reaction of decomposition of barium carbonate
The value of standard Gibbs free energy of formation
The value of standard Gibbs free energy of formation
The value of standard Gibbs free energy of formation
Substitute these values in equation (1) to calculate the value of standard Gibbs free energy of reaction
Therefore, the value of standard Gibbs free energy of reaction
The relative tendency of metal carbonates to decompose is depended upon the value of standard Gibbs free energy of reaction
Therefore, magnesium carbonate relatively decomposes faster than calcium carbonate and barium carbonate and calcium carbonate decompose faster than the barium carbonate. Hence, the relative tendency of given carbonates to decompose is written as,
