Question
16) The equilibrium constant for the following reaction at 298 K is Kc=9.1x10−6.
2Fe3+(aq) + Hg22+(aq) <--> 2Fe2+(aq) + 2Hg2+(aq)
a) What is ΔG° at this temperature?
b) If standard-state conditions of the reactants and products are mixed, in which direction does the reaction proceed? 
c) Calculate ΔG when [Fe 3+]=0.20 M, [Hg22+]=0.010 M, [Fe2+]=0.010 M, and [Hg2+]=0.025 M. In which direction will the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium?
