D Correct answer
Explanation
$G=G^o+RTlnK$.

$G^o$ is standard Gibbs energy. At equillibrium when there is no longer free energy left to drive the reaction then $\Delta G=0, \Delta G^o=-RTlnK$

Explanation

The correct relationship between free energy change in a reaction and the corresponding equilibrium constant K is $-\Delta G=RT:ln:K$ or $\Delta G=-RT:ln:K$

Multiple choice chemistry energetics and thermochemistry gibbs energy change and equilibrium gibbs free energy entropy and spontaneity

For the reaction at $298 K$


$A (g) + B (g)\rightleftharpoons C (g) + D (g)$

$\Delta H^o = 29.8 kcal ; \Delta S^o = 0.1 kcal/K$

Calculate $\Delta G^o$ and $K$.

  1. $\Delta G^o = 0 ; K = 1$
  2. $\Delta G^o = 1 ; K = e$
  3. $\Delta G^o = 2 ; K = e^2$

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

As we know,


$\Delta G^o = \Delta H^o - T\Delta S^o$ 

         $= 29.8 - ( 298\times0.1 )$

         $= 29.8-29.8=0$

Therefore, $\Delta G^o = 0$

The relation between $\Delta G^0 $ and $K$

$\Delta G^0$ = $ - RT lnK$

$K = 1 $

So, the correct option is $A$

When $\displaystyle \Delta G$ is zero :

  1. reaction moves in forward direction

  2. reaction moves in backward direction

  3. system is at equilibrium

  4. none of these

C Correct answer
Explanation

When $\displaystyle \Delta G$ is zero, system is at equilibrium.
Positive free energy change corresponds to non spontaneous reaction.
Negative free energy change corresponds to spontaneous reaction.

The density of an equilibrium mixture of $N _2O _4$ and $NO _2$ at 101.32 $KP _a$ is 3.62 g $dm^{3}$ at 288 K and 1.84 g $dm^{3}$ at 348 K. 


What is the heat of the reaction for the following reaction?

$N _2O _4\rightleftharpoons 2NO _2(g)$

  1. $\Delta _rH = 37.29 $ kJ mol$^{ -1 }$.
  2. $\Delta _rH = 75.68 $ kJ mol$^{ -1 }$.
  3. $\Delta _rH = 95.7$ kJ mol$^{ -1 }$.
  4. $\Delta _rH = 151.3 $ kJ mol$^{ -1 }$.

B Correct answer
Explanation

At 288 K, $M _{avg.}=\frac {3.62\times 0.0821\times 288}{1}$
$\frac {92}{M _{avg.}}=1+\alpha \Rightarrow K _{P1}=\frac {4\alpha^2}{1-\alpha^2}$
Similarly at $348 K, M'/avg.=\frac {1.84\times 0.0821\times 348}{1}$
$\frac {92}{M'avg}=1+\alpha'\Rightarrow K _{P _2}=\frac {4\alpha'^2}{1-\alpha'^2}$
$log \frac {K _{P _2}}{K _{P _1}}=\frac {\Delta H^o}{2.303 R}\left [\frac {1}{288}-\frac {1}{348}\right ]$
so,
$\Delta _rH = 75.68 kJ mol^{1}$

Which is not correct relationship between $\Delta G^{ \ominus }$ and equilibrium constant $K _P$

  1. $K _P = -RT log \Delta G^{ \ominus }$
  2. $K _P = [e/RT]^{ \Delta G^{ \ominus } }$
  3. $K _P = -\frac { \Delta G^{ \ominus } }{ RT }$
  4. $K _P = e^{ -\Delta G^{ \ominus }/RT }$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,B,C Correct answer
Explanation

$\Delta G = \Delta G^{ \ominus } + RT log K$
and at equilibrium,
$\Delta G = 0$ so
$\Delta G^{ \ominus } = - RT log K$
$\Delta G^{ \ominus } = -RTln K _P$
$K _P = e^{ -\Delta G^{ \ominus }/RT }$

The correct relation between equilibrium constant $(K)$, standard free  energy $(\Delta {G}^{o})$ and temperature $(T)$ is:

  1. $\Delta {G}^{o}=RT\ln {K}$
  2. $K={ e }^{ \Delta { G }^{ o }/2.303 RT }\quad $
  3. $\Delta { G }^{ o }=-RT\log{K}$
  4. $K={ 10 }^{ -\Delta { G }^{ o }/2.303 RT }\quad $
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Consider a reaction, $A+B\rightleftharpoons C+D$

$\Delta G={ \Delta G }^{ 0 }+RTlnQ$
for equilibrium, $\Delta G=0$
$\therefore \quad 0={ \Delta G }^{ 0 }+RTlnK$
$\therefore \quad { \Delta G }^{ 0 }=-RTlnK$
$\therefore \quad { \Delta G }^{ 0 }=-2.303RTlogK$
i.e. $K={ 10 }^{ { -\Delta G }^{ 0 }/2.303RT }$

When $\ln{K}$ is plotted against $\cfrac { 1 }{ T } $ using the Van't Hoff equation, a straight line is expected with a slope equal to:

  1. $\Delta { H }^{ o }/RT$
  2. $-\Delta { H }^{ o }/R$
  3. $\Delta { H }^{ o }/R$
  4. $R/\Delta { H }^{ o }$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The Van't Hoff equation is ln(K) = -deltaH/R * (1/T) + constant. Plotting ln(K) vs 1/T results in a straight line with a slope of -deltaH/R.
