1) The standard molar entropy value of N2 (g) is 191.5 J/K-mol,
of O2 (g) is 205.0 J/K-mol and of NO2 (g) is 240.0 J/K-mol. From these values we can calculate the Delta So for the reaction N2 (g) + 2 O2 (g)-> 2 NO2 (g) to be?
I did products - reactants
(240 X 2) - [191.5 + (250 X 2)]
480 - 601.5 = -121.5
The delta S is -121.5
2) Calculate the value of delta Go for the reaction , given the standard free energies of formation listed below each ion.
Ag(SO3)_2^3- -> Ag^+ + 2SO3^2-
delta Gfo, kJ/mol for Ag(SO3)_2^3- is -943 , for Ag^+ it is +77 and for 2SO_3^2- it is -497.
I did products - reactants
[(-497 X 2) + 77] - (-943)]
-917 - (-943) = 26
The delta g is +26.
Are my answers correct? Thank you!
I remember this from a day or so ago. I think these are the answers I obtained then although I didn't go through them again today. Note you made a typo in calculation of dS. 2*250 you meant to type 2*205. But the answer is ok.
Yes, your answers are correct. In the first question, you correctly calculated the change in entropy (ΔS) for the reaction N2 (g) + 2 O2 (g) -> 2 NO2 (g) to be -121.5 J/K-mol.
In the second question, you correctly calculated the change in standard free energy (ΔG) for the reaction Ag(SO3)_2^3- -> Ag^+ + 2SO3^2- to be +26 kJ/mol. Well done!
Let's go through the calculations step by step to verify if your answers are correct.
For question 1:
To calculate the change in entropy (ΔS) for the reaction N2(g) + 2O2(g) -> 2NO2(g), you correctly used the formula ΔS = ΣS(products) - ΣS(reactants).
Using the given standard molar entropy values, we can calculate ΣS(products) and ΣS(reactants):
ΣS(products) = 240 J/K-mol (for 2NO2(g)) = 480 J/K-mol
ΣS(reactants) = 191.5 J/K-mol (for N2(g)) + 205 J/K-mol (for 2O2(g)) = 601.5 J/K-mol
Now, substitute these values in the formula:
ΔS = ΣS(products) - ΣS(reactants)
= 480 J/K-mol - 601.5 J/K-mol
= -121.5 J/K-mol
So, your answer of ΔS = -121.5 J/K-mol is correct.
For question 2:
To calculate the change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG) for the reaction Ag(SO3)2^3- -> Ag+ + 2SO3^2-, you again correctly used the formula ΔG = ΣΔGf(products) - ΣΔGf(reactants).
Using the given standard free energy of formation values, we can calculate ΣΔGf(products) and ΣΔGf(reactants):
ΣΔGf(products) = 0 kJ/mol (for Ag+) + 2(-497 kJ/mol) (for 2SO3^2-) = -994 kJ/mol
ΣΔGf(reactants) = -943 kJ/mol (for Ag(SO3)2^3-)
Now, substitute these values in the formula:
ΔG = ΣΔGf(products) - ΣΔGf(reactants)
= (-994 kJ/mol) - (-943 kJ/mol)
= -51 kJ/mol
So, your answer of ΔG = -51 kJ/mol is correct.
Therefore, both of your answers are correct! Well done!
