Gibb's Helmholtz equation
Question

 For the reaction, X2O4(l)2XO2(g)

ΔU=2.1kcal,ΔS=20calK-1at 300 K

 Hence, ΔG is 

Moderate
Solution

ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT

 Given, ΔU=2.1kcal,Δng=2

R=2×10-3kcal,T=300 K

  ΔH=2.1+2×2×10-3×300=3.3kcal

 Again, ΔG=ΔH-TΔS

 Given, ΔS=20×10-3kcalK-1

 On putting the value of ΔH in the equation, we get 

ΔG=3.3-300×20×10-3

=3.3-6×103×10-3=-2.7kcal
