Consider the following reaction at 215 K: 2 A (aq) + 1 B (aq) → 1 C (aq) + 1 D (aq)
An experiment was performed with the following intitial concentrations: [A]i = 1.37 M, [B]i = 2.03 M, [C]i = 0.65 M, [D]i = 0.11 M.
The reaction was allowed to proceed until equilibrium was reached at which time it was determined that [A] = 0.61 M. What was the maximum amount of work that could have been performed as the reaction began? Maximum amount of work performed as the reaction began (in kJ)=
