Question 14 Marks
The standard enthalpy and standard entropy of decomposition of $N _2 O _4$ to $NO _2$ are $55.0 kJ mol ^{-1}$ and $175.0 J / K / mol$ respectively. The standard free energy change for this reaction at $25^{\circ} C$ in $J mol ^{-1}$ is __________ (Nearest integer)
Answer
Sol. (2850)
$\begin{array}{l}\Delta H _{ rxn }^{ o }=55 kJ / mol , \quad T =298 K \\ \Delta S _{ rxn }^{ o }=175 J / mol \\ \Delta G _{ rxn }^{ o }=\Delta H _{ rxn }^{ o }- T \Delta S _{ rxn }^{ o } \\ \Rightarrow \Delta G _{ rxn }^{ o }=55000 J / mol -298 \times 175 J / mol \\ \Rightarrow \Delta G _{ rxn }^{ o }=55000-52150 \\ \Rightarrow \Delta G _{ rxn }^{ o }=2850 J / mol \end{array}$
