100%

A student determines the value of the equilibrium constant to be 7.94×10-37 for the following reaction.

H2S(g) + 2H2O(l)3H2(g) + SO2(g)

Based on this value of Keq:

G° for this reaction is expected to be (greater, less)  than zero.

Calculate the free energy change for the reaction of 1.85 moles of H2S(g) at standard conditions at 298K.
     G°rxn =  kJ

Step 1

The given reaction is:

Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

The equilibrium constant for this reaction, Keq is 7.94×10-37.

Since the value of Keq is very low(less than 1), thus the reaction will be non spontaneous. For a non spontaneous reaction, ∆G˚ is positive. Thus based on the value of Keq, ∆G˚ for this reaction will be greater than 0.

Calculation of ∆G˚ of this reaction at 298 K:

Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 2

Thus ∆G˚ of this reaction will be greater than zero at equilibrium.
