Expert Solution

a.

To calculate Go (reaction)

Go (reaction) = (sum of standard change in free energies of formation of products) - (sum of standard change in free energies of formation of reactants)

Go (reaction) = aiGofproducts - biGofreactants

Also standard change in free energies of formation for elements is zero.

Therefore, Go (reaction) = Gof(H2S) - Gof (CuS)

Substituting the given values, Go (reaction) = -33.6 - (-53.6) = +20.0 kJ/mol

Therefore Go (reaction) = +20.0 kJ/mol

To calculate Ho (reaction)

Ho (reaction) = aiHofproducts - biHofreactants

Also standard change in enthalpies of formation for elements is zero.

Therefore, Ho (reaction) = Hof(H2S) - Hof (CuS)

Substituting the given values, Ho (reaction) = -20.6 - (-53.1) = +32.5 kJ/mol

Therefore, Ho (reaction) = +32.5 kJ/mol

Answer for a. is Go (reaction) = +20.0 kJ/mol and Ho (reaction) = +32.5 kJ/mol

b.

298K and 1 atm pressure are standard conditions and at standard conditions change in free energy G of reaction is nothing but standard change in free energy Go of reaction.

For a reaction to be spontaneous change in free energy must be negative but we see that

G (reaction) = Go (reaction) = +20.0 kJ/mol , is positive at 298K and 1 atm pressure.

Hence, the reaction will NOT proceed spontaneously at 298K and 1 atm pressure.

c.

Relation between standard change in free energy of reaction Go (reaction) and equilibrium constant K of the reaction is given by equation, Go (reaction) = -RTlnK

R = universal gas constant = 8.314 J K-1mol-1 ; T = absolute temperature = 298 K (given)

We have calculated Go (reaction) to be +20.0 kJ/mol = 20*103 J/mol

Substituting the values in equation we get,

Go (reaction) = -RTlnK

20*103 = - 8.314 * 298* lnK

lnK = -8.0724      but lnK = 2.303 log K          ( since lnx = 2.303logx)

Therefore, 2.303 log K = -8.0724          or       logK = -8.0724 / 2.303 = -3.5052

logK = -3.5052 = -3 -0.5052 = -3 - 0.5052 - 1 +1 = (-3-1) + (1-0.5052) = - 4 + 0.4948

logK = - 4 + 0.4948

K = 10-4 * antilog 0.4948 = 10-4 *3.125

Therefore equilibrium constant K = 3.125 * 10-4 at 298K

d.

Standard change in entropy So can be calculated using the relation,

Go = Ho - TSo

So, So = (Ho - Go ) / T

We have, Go = +20.0 kJ/mol, Ho = +32.5 kJ/mol and T = 298 K

Substituting the values we get, So = (32.5 - 20) / 298 = 0.04195 kJ mol-1K-1 = + 41.95 J mol-1K-1

So = + 41.95 J mol-1K-1   at 298K.

e.

Change in free energy of reaction G is given by equation,

G = H - TS

Given, T = 798 K,

Assuming H and S are same as Ho and So

H = Ho = +32.5 kJ/mol = +32.5 * 103 J/mol and   S = So = + 41.95 J mol-1K-1

Substituting the values we get,

G = H - TS = (32.5 * 103) - (798 * 41.95 ) = - 976.1 J/mol

Therefore, at 798 K, G = - 976.1 J/mol = 0.976 kJ/mol

f.

Given, T = 798 K

Equilibrium constant K can be calculated using the equation, Go (reaction) = -RTlnK

Go (reaction) = +20.0 kJ/mol  = 20*103 J/mol    ( as calculated under question a)

R = universal gas constant = 8.314 J K-1mol-1 ; T = absolute temperature = 798 K (given)

Substituting the values we get,

Go (reaction) = -RTlnK

20*103 = - 8.314 * 798 * lnK

20*103 = - 8.314 * 798 * 2.303 log K               (since lnx = 2.303logx)

log K = - (20*103) / (8.314 * 798 * 2.303) = -1.3089

log K = -1.3089 = -1 - 0.3089 = -1 -0.3089 +1 -1 = (-1 -1) + (+1 - 0.3089) = - 2 + 0.6911

log K = - 2 + 0.6911

K = 10-2 * antilog 0.6911 = 10-2 *4.910

Therefore equilibrium constant K = 4.91 * 10-2   at 798 K
