Hydrolysis of sucrose is given by the following reaction: Sucrose+H2O⇌Glucose+Fructose. If the equilibrium constant (KC) is 2×1013 at 300 K, the value of ΔrG° at the same temperature will be [2020]
(1)
ΔG=ΔG°+RTlnQ
At equilibrium, ΔG=0 and Q=KC
∴ 0=ΔG°+RTlnKC
⇒ ΔG°=-RTlnKC
=-8.314 J K-1mol-1×300 K×ln(2×1013)
