Question

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of propane gas is:

C3H(g) + 5 O2 (g) --> 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (g).

Under standard conditions, the Gibbs free energy change (∆G°RXN) for this reaction (as written) is -2385 kJ.

What will be the standard free energy change (in kJ) if the reaction takes place under the following conditions:  (Nearest whole number)

Temperature = 12.4 °C

PC3H8 = 0.019 atm

PO2 = 1 atm

PCO2 = 1.64 atm

PH2O = 1.65 atm
