Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given each reaction, the $\Delta G$ value has to be calculated using $\Delta G_f^o$ values.

    $H_2\left(g\right)+I_2\left(g\right)\stackrel{}{\to }2HI\left(g\right)$

Concept introduction:

Free energy is the term that is used to explain the total energy content in a thermodynamic system that can be converted into work.  The free energy is represented by the letter G.  All spontaneous process is associated with the decrease of free energy in the system.  The equation given below helps us to calculate the change in free energy in a system.

  $\text{ΔG = }\Delta {\rm H}\text{- T}\Delta \text{S}$

Where,

  $\text{ΔG }$ is the change in free energy of the system

  $\Delta {\rm H}$ is the change in enthalpy of the system

  $\text{T}$ is the absolute value of the temperature

  $\Delta \text{S}$ is the change in entropy in the system

Free energy (Gibbs free energy) is the term that is used to explain the total energy content in a thermodynamic system that can be converted into work.  The free energy is represented by the letter $\text{G}$.  All spontaneous process is associated with the decrease of free energy in the system.  The standard free energy change ${\text{(ΔG}}^{\text{°}}{}_{\text{rxn}})$ is the difference in free energy of the reactants and products in their standard state.

${\text{ΔG}}^{\text{°}}{}_{\text{rxn}}\text{=}{\displaystyle \sum {\text{mΔG}}_{\text{f}}{}^{\text{°}}}\text{(Products)-}{\displaystyle \sum {\text{nΔG}}_{\text{f}}{}^{\text{°}}}\text{(Reactants)}$

Where,

  ${\text{nΔG}}_{\text{f}}{{}^{\text{°}}}_{\left(\text{Reactants}\right)}$ is the standard entropy of the reactants

  ${\text{mΔG}}_{\text{f}}{{}^{\text{°}}}_{\left(\text{products}\right)}$ is the standard free energy of the products
