MCQ
For the reaction, $X_2O_{4(l)} \to 2XO_{2(g)}$

$\Delta U = 2.1\ kcal, \, \Delta S = 20\, cal\, K^{-1}$ at $300\, K$ Hence, $\Delta G$ is ............ $\mathrm{kcal}$

  • A
    $2.7$
  • $- 2.7$
  • C
    $9.3$
  • D
    $- 9.3$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$- 2.7$
b
$\Delta H=\Delta U+\Delta n_{g} R T$

Given, $\Delta U=2.1 \,\mathrm{kcal}, \Delta n_{g}=2$

$R=2 \times 10^{-3} \,\mathrm{kcal}, T=300\, \mathrm{K}$

$\therefore \Delta H=2.1+2 \times 2 \times 10^{-3} \times 300=3.3\, \mathrm{kcal}$

Again, $\Delta G=\Delta H-T \Delta S$

Given, $\Delta S=20 \times 10^{-3} \,\mathrm{kcal} \,\mathrm{K}^{-1}$

On putting the values of $\Delta \mathrm{H}$ and $\Delta \mathrm{S}$ in the equation.

we get

$\Delta G=3.3-300 \times 20 \times 10^{-3}$

$=3.3-6 \times 10^{3} \times 10^{-3}$

$=-2.7\; \mathrm{kcal}$
