Question
The equilibrium constant at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ for the process $\mathrm{CO}^{3+}(\mathrm{aq})+6 \mathrm{NH}_3(\mathrm{aq}) \rightleftharpoons\left[\mathrm{CO}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}(\mathrm{aq})$ is $2.5 \times 10^6$. Calculate the value of $\Delta \mathrm{G}^{\circ}$ at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{R}=8.314 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right)$. In which direction is the reaction spontaneous under standard conditions?
