For a gaseous reaction, standard conditions are 298 K and a partial pressure of 1 atm for all species. For the reaction N2(g)+3H2(g)==<>2NH3(g) the standard change in Gibbs free energy is Delta G=-72.6 kJ/mol. What is Delta G for this reaction at 298 K when the partial pressures are
P N2 = 0.200 atm, P H2 = 0.150 atm, and P NH3 = 0.900 atm
N2(g)+3H2(g)==<>2NH3(g)
kp = P2NH3/PN2 P3H2
= (0.9)2/0.2*(0.15)3
= 1200
G0 = -72.6KJ/mole = -72600J/mole
G = G0 + RTlnKp
= -72600+ 8.314*298*ln1200
= -72600+ 2477.57*7.1
= -55009.25J
