3L5

The equilibrium constant of a system, K, can be
related to the standard free energy change, AG,
using the following equation:
AG° = -RT In K
where T is a specified temperature in kelvins
(usually 298 K) and R is equal to 8.314
J/(K.mol).
Under conditions other than standard state, the
following equation applies:
AG=AG + RT In Q
In this equation, is the reaction quotient and is
defined the same manner as K except that the
concentrations or pressures used are not
necessarily the equilibrium values.
Part A
Acetylene, C₂ H2, can be converted to ethane, C₂H6, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction
is
C₂ H₂(g) + 2H2(g) = C₂H6(g)
Given the following data at standard conditions (all pressures equal to 1 atm and the common reference
temperature 298 K), what is the value of Kp for this reaction?
