Interpretation:
For the following reaction free energy value ΔGo has to be calculated at 298 K, using the given K value.
2HCl (g) + Br2(l) ⇌ 2HBr(g) + Cl2(g) K= 2.22×10−15 at 298 K
Concept introduction:
Free energy (Gibbs free energy) is the term that is used to explain the total energy content in a
ΔG°rxn=∑nΔGf°(Products)-∑nΔGf°(Reactants)
Free energy changeΔG: change in the free energy takes place while reactant converts to product where both are in standard state. It depends on the equilibrium constant K
ΔG = ΔG0+ RT ln (K)ΔG0 = ΔH0 − TΔS0
Where,
T is the temperature
ΔG is the free energy
ΔG0, ΔH0 and ΔS0 is standard free energy, enthalpy and entropy values.
The formula of ΔH in terms of ΔG and TΔS is,
ΔH∘ = ΔG∘ +T ΔS
The formula of ΔG in terms of equilibrium constant,
ΔG = ΔG∘ − RT ln(K)
