Answer:
ΔG° = -5.4 kJ/mol
ΔG = 873.2 J/mol = 0.873 kJ /mol
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
ΔG (NO2) = 51.84 kJ/mol
ΔG (N2O4) = 98.28 kJ/mol
Step 2:
ΔG = ΔG° + RT ln Q
⇒with Q = the reaction quatient
⇒with T = the temperature = 298 K
⇒with R = 8.314 J / mol*K
⇒with ΔG° = ΔG° (N2O4) - 2*ΔG°(NO2
)
⇒ ΔG° = 98.28 kJ/mol - 2* 51.84 kJ/mol
⇒ ΔG° = -5.4 kJ/mol
Part B
ΔG = ΔG° =RT ln Q
⇒with G° = -5.4 kj/mol = -5400 j/mol
⇒
with R = 8.314 J/K*mol
⇒with T = 298 K
⇒with Q = p(N2O4)/ [ p(NO2) ]² = 1.63/0.36² = 12.577
ΔG = -5400 + 8.314 * 298 * ln(12.577)
ΔG = -5400 + 8.314 * 298 * 2.532
ΔG = 873.2 J/mol = 0.873 kJ/mol
