Question
**Calculate the pK at 25 degrees C of the following reaction using the data in the table. Use R = 8.314 J/mol/K.**

Reaction: 
\[ \text{1A + 3B} \rightarrow \text{5C + 4D + 3E} \]

| Substance | \(\Delta H_f^0\) (kJ/mol) | \(S^0\) (J/mol/K) |
|-----------|-----------------|----------------|
| A         | -19.68          | 13.41          |
| B         | -9.29           | 10.92          |
| C         | 0.83            | 19.81          |
| D         | 15.35           | 9.48           |
| E         | 3.32            | 0.15           |

**Remember,**  
\[ \text{pK} = -\log(K) \]

**Report your answer to two decimal points.**

---

**Explanation:**

1. **\(\Delta H_f^0\) column**: Lists the standard enthalpy of formation for each substance in kJ/mol.
2. **\(S^0\) column**: Lists the standard entropy for each substance in J/mol/K.

To calculate the equilibrium constant (K), use the Gibbs free energy change (\(\Delta G^0\)) for the reaction:

\[ \Delta G^0 = \Delta H^0 - T\Delta S^0 \]

Where:
- \(\Delta H^0\) and \(\Delta S^0\) are determined from the reaction data.
- \(T\) is the temperature in Kelvin (298 K for 25°C).

Calculate \(\Delta G^0\) and then use the relation:

\[ \Delta G^0 = -RT \ln(K) \]

to solve for \(K\) and subsequently, \(\text{pK} = -\log(K)\).
