Q.

Consider the following reversible reaction, A(g)+B(g)AB(g)
The activation energy of the backward reaction exceeds that of the forward reaction by 2RT (in Jmol -1).If the pre-exponential factor of the forward reaction is 4 times that of the reverse reaction, the absolute value of ΔG0 in jmol1 for the reaction at 300 K is___
(Given In(2)=0.7,RT=2500Jmol1 at 300 K and G is the Gibbs energy)

A(g)+B(g)AB(g)Eab=Eaf+2RT and Af=4Ab
Now, Rate constant of forward reaction
kf=AfeEaf/RT
Rate constant of reverse reaction
kb=AbeEab/RT
 Equilibrium keq=kfkb=AfAbeEafEab/RT
keq=4e2RT/RT=4e2
 Now, ΔG0=RTlnkeq=2500ln4e2
=2500ln4+lne2=2500(1.4+2)=2500×3.4=8500J/mol
