(a)
To determine: The value of equilibrium constant for the given reaction at 298 K .
Solution: The value of equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 7.856×1015 .
Explanation:
Given
The balanced chemical equation for the given reaction is,
SO2(g)+2H2S(g)⇌3S(s)+2H2O(g)
The temperature of the reaction is 298 K .
The standard free energy change of the given reaction is calculated by the formula,
ΔG0=∑nΔG0(products)−∑mΔG0(reactants)=(2ΔG0H2O(g)+3ΔG0S(s))−(ΔG0SO2(g)+2ΔG0H2S(g))
Substitute the values of ΔG0H2O(g) , ΔG0S(s) , ΔG0SO2(g) and ΔG0H2S(g) from appendix C in equation.
ΔH0=(2×−228.57 kJ/mol+3×0 kJ/mol)−(1×−300.4 kJ/mol+2×−33.01 kJ/mol)=−90.72 kJ/mol
The conversion of free energy from kJ/mol into J/mol is done as,
1 kJ/mol=103 J/mol
Hence, the conversion of free energy from −90.72 kJ/mol into J/mol is,
−90.72 kJ/mol=−90.72×103 J/mol
The equilibrium constant for the given reaction is calculated by the formula,
ΔG0=−RTlnKlnK=−ΔG0RT
Where,
- ΔG0 is the standard free energy of the reaction.
- R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol⋅K) .
- T is the temperature of the reaction.
- K is the equilibrium constant of the reaction.
Substitute the values of ΔG0 , T and R in above equation.
lnK=−(−90.72×103 J/mol)8.314 J/mol⋅K×298 K=36.6
The equilibrium constant of the reaction is calculated by taking exponential of the above equation.
K=e36.6=7.856×1015
Conclusion:
The value of equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 7.856×1015 .

Generate a molecular orbital diagram but this time using a different approach that draws on your knowledge and ability to put concepts together. First use VSEPR or some other method to make sure you know the ground state structure of the molecule. Next, generate an MO diagram for BH2. Sketch the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs of the BH2 fragment. These are called frontier orbitals. Now use these frontier orbitals as your basis set for producing LGO's for B2H6. Since the BH2 frontier orbitals become the LGOS, you will have to think about what is in the middle of the molecule and treat its basis as well. Do you arrive at the same qualitative MO diagram as is discussed in the book?
