The equation ΔG = ΔG˚ + RT ln Q was derived for gaseous reactions where the quantities in Q were expressed in units of pressure. We also can use units of mol/L for the quantities in Q, specifically when considering aqueous reactions. With this in mind, consider the reaction HF(aq) --> H+(aq) + F- (aq) Ka = 7.2 x 10-4 at 25˚C Calculate ΔG for the reaction under the following conditions at 25˚C. Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not, which direction will the reaction shift to reach equilibrium for each of the five sets of conditions.

Calculate ΔG for the reaction under the following conditions at 25˚C. Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not, which direction will the reaction shift to reach equilibrium for each of the five sets of conditions.
a.[HF] = [H+] = [F- ] = 1.0 M
b. [HF] = 0.98M, [H+] = [F- ] = 2.7 x 10-2 M
c. [HF] = [H+] = [F- ] = 1.0 x 10-5 M
d. [HF] = [F- ] = 0.27 M, [H+] = 7.2 x 10-3 M
