Q.

For the reaction N2O42NO2 graph is plotted as shown below. Identify correct statements: 

A. Standard free energy change for the reaction is 5.40 kJ mol⁻¹.

B. As ΔG in graph is positive, N2O4 will not dissociate into NO2 at all.

C. Reverse reaction will go to completion.
D. When 1 mole of N2O4 changes into equilibrium mixture, value of ΔG=0.84 kJ mol⁻¹.
E. When 2 mole of NO2 changes into equilibrium mixture, ΔG for equilibrium mixture is 6.24 kJ mol⁻¹.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :                           [2026]

1 B and C only  
2 D and E only  
3 A and D only  
4 C and E only  

Ans.

(2)

(A) ΔrG°=GB°-GA°=+ve

(B) ΔrG°=+ve, N2O4 will partially dissociate into NO2.

(C) For reverse reaction

It is partially completed as there is equilibrium at E.

(D) For 1 mole N2O4; ΔrG°=-0.84 kJ mol-1

(E) For 2 mole NO2; ΔrG°=-5.4-0.84

                                                    =-6.24 kJ mol-1
