Step-by-Step Solution

For the general reaction A+BC+D\text{A} + \text{B} \rightleftharpoons \text{C} + \text{D}, the equilibrium constant KcK_c is calculated as the ratio of the product concentrations to the reactant concentrations: Kc=[C][D][A][B]K_c = \frac{[\text{C}][\text{D}]}{[\text{A}][\text{B}]}

Given the equilibrium concentrations: [A]=2 mol L1[\text{A}] = 2\text{ mol L}^{-1} [B]=3 mol L1[\text{B}] = 3\text{ mol L}^{-1} [C]=10 mol L1[\text{C}] = 10\text{ mol L}^{-1} [D]=6 mol L1[\text{D}] = 6\text{ mol L}^{-1}

Substitute these values into the equilibrium expression: Kc=10×62×3=606=10K_c = \frac{10 \times 6}{2 \times 3} = \frac{60}{6} = 10

The standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG\Delta G^\circ) is related to the equilibrium constant by the equation: ΔG=2.303RTlogKc\Delta G^\circ = -2.303 RT \log K_c

Given values for the equation: R=2 cal/mol KR = 2\text{ cal/mol K} T=300 KT = 300\text{ K} Kc=10K_c = 10

Substitute the values to find ΔG\Delta G^\circ: ΔG=2.303×2×300×log(10)\Delta G^\circ = -2.303 \times 2 \times 300 \times \log(10) Since log(10)=1\log(10) = 1: ΔG=2.303×600=1381.8 cal\Delta G^\circ = -2.303 \times 600 = -1381.8\text{ cal}

Therefore, ΔG\Delta G^\circ for the reaction is 1381.80 cal-1381.80\text{ cal}.
