Chapter 17, Problem 52E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $\Delta G°$ and $\Delta K_{\text{p}}$ for the given reaction at $25°\text{C}$ is to be calculated and spontaneity of the reaction is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:The reaction will be spontaneous if the value of Gibbs free energy is negative and the reaction will be non-spontaneous if the value of Gibbs fee energy is positive. The value of equilibrium constant is calculated by the formula,

$K_{\text{p}}=e^{\frac{-\Delta G°}{RT}}$

To determine:the value of $\Delta G°$ and $\Delta K_{\text{p}}$ for the given reaction at $25°\text{C}$ is to be spontaneity of the reaction.
