Q.

Use the following data : 

Substance

ΔfH (500 K)kJ mol⁻¹ 

S (500 K)J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

AB(g)

32

222

A2(g)

6

146

B2(g)

x

280

One mole each of A2(g) and B2(g) are taken in a 1 L closed flask and allowed to establish the equilibrium at 500 K. 

A2(g)+B2(g)2AB(g)

The value of x (in kJ mol⁻¹) is __________. (Nearest integer)

(Given : log K = 2.2 R=8.3 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹)    [2026]


Ans.

(70)

A2+B2500K2AB    logK=2.2

ΔH°=(2×32)-(6+x)=(58-x) kJ

ΔS°=(2×222)-(146+280)=18 J

ΔG°=-RTlnK

ΔG°=-8.314×500×2.2×2.3031000

ΔG°=-21.06

ΔH°-TΔS°=-21.06

58-x-500(181000)=-21.06

x=70.06 kJ/mol
