For the general reaction A+B⇌C+D, the equilibrium constant Kc is calculated as the ratio of the product concentrations to the reactant concentrations:
Kc=[A][B][C][D]
Given the equilibrium concentrations:
[A]=2 mol L−1
[B]=3 mol L−1
[C]=10 mol L−1
[D]=6 mol L−1
Substitute these values into the equilibrium expression:
Kc=2×310×6=660=10
The standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG∘) is related to the equilibrium constant by the equation:
ΔG∘=−2.303RTlogKc
Given values for the equation:
R=2 cal/mol K
T=300 K
Kc=10
Substitute the values to find ΔG∘:
ΔG∘=−2.303×2×300×log(10)
Since log(10)=1:
ΔG∘=−2.303×600=−1381.8 cal
Therefore, ΔG∘ for the reaction is −1381.80 cal.
