Chapter 17, Problem 9SAQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The option corresponding to the correct value of free energy of the given reaction from the given value of standard free energy, temperature, partial pressures of the product and the reactant of the reaction is to be identified.

Concept Introduction: The free energy, $\Delta G$ , of the reaction is calculated as,

$\Delta G=\Delta G°-\text{Absolute}\text{temperature}\times \text{Gas}\text{constant}\times \ln \frac{\text{Partial}\text{pressure}\text{of}\text{product}}{\text{Partial}\text{pressure}\text{of}\text{reactant}}$

To determine: The option corresponding to the correct value of free energy of the given reaction.

Correct answer: The correct option is (a).
