To find:
a) ΔG0rxn of reaction (1), (2).
b) ΔG0rxn of coupled (overall) reaction of (1) and (2), and if the overall reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions.
Answer to Problem 12.70QA
Solution:
a)
b)
Explanation of Solution
1) Formula:
2) Concept:
Using standard ΔG0f values of each reactant and product from the table given in the book, we can calculate the ΔG0rxn using formula given above.
If we add two reactions, we can get following coupled (overall) reaction:
Here C(s) is the intermediate thus; so it does not appear in the coupled reaction.
3) Given information:
Values of
4) Calculations:
a)
b)
Since
We have calculated
Conclusion:
a.
b.
The coupled reaction is spontaneous under the given conditions as the
We can use the same formula for
