Q.

Hydrolysis of sucrose is given by the following reaction: Sucrose+H2OGlucose+Fructose. If the equilibrium constant (KC) is 2×1013 at 300 K, the value of ΔrG° at the same temperature will be              [2020]

1 -8.314 J mol-1K-1×300K×ln(2×1013)  
2 8.314 J mol-1K-1×300K×ln(2×1013)  
3 8.314 J mol-1K-1×300K×ln(3×1013)  
4 -8.314 J mol-1K-1×300K×ln(4×1013)  

Ans.

(1)

ΔG=ΔG°+RTlnQ

At equilibrium, ΔG=0 and Q=KC

   0=ΔG°+RTlnKC

  ΔG°=-RTlnKC

                  =-8.314J K-1mol-1×300K×ln(2×1013)
