Explanation
Given
Partial pressure of H2O, PH2O, is 18 torr.
Partial pressure of Cl2O, PCl2O, is 2.0 torr.
Partial pressure of HOCl, PHOCl, is 0.10 torr.
The stated reaction is,
H2O(g)+Cl2O(g)⇌2HOCl(g)
If the partial pressure of reactant and product is given, then equilibrium pressure is expressed as Kp and its expression is written as,
Kp=(Partial pressure of product)a (Partial pressure of reactant)b
Where,
- a is the number of moles of product.
- b is the number of moles of reactant.
The equilibrium constant expression for the given reaction is,
Kp=(PHOCl)2(PH2O)(PCl2O)
Substitute the values of PCl2O, PH2O and PHOCl in the above expression.
Kp=(PHOCl)2(PH2O)(PCl2O)=(0.10 torr)2(18 torr)(2.0 torr)=2.7×10−4_
The value of Kp is 2.7×10−4.
Temperature is 298 K.
The expression for free energy change is,
ΔG=ΔG°+RTln(Kp)
Where,
- ΔG is the free energy change for a reaction at specified pressure.
- R is the gas law constant (8.3145 J/K⋅mol).
- T is the absolute temperature.
- Kp is the equilibrium constant.
Substitute the values of R, Kp and T in the equation.
ΔG=ΔG°+RTln(Kp)=[6.0×103+(8.3145)(298)ln(2.7×10−4)] J/mol=−14.3×103 J/mol
The conversion of joule-per mole (J/mol) into kilo-joule per mole (kJ/mol) is done as,
1 J/mol=10−3 kJ/mol
Hence,
The conversion of −14.3×103 J/mol into kilo- joule per mole is,
−14.3×103 J/mol=(−14.3×103×10−3) kJ/mol=−14.3 kJ/mol_
