Consider the following chemical reaction, carried out at T = 25.0 °C.
NH3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) D NH4+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq) (4.1)
Thermochemical data to be used in this problem are given below at T = 25.0 °C.
Substance DH°f S° DG°f
(kJ/mol) (J/molK) (kJ/mol)
CH3COO-(aq) - 486.01 + 86.6 - 369.31
CH3COOH(aq) - 485.76 + 178.1 - 396.46
NH4+(aq) - 132.51 + 113.4 - 79.31
NH3(aq) - 80.29 + 111.3 - 26.50
a) Using the data in the table, find the value DG°rxn for reaction 4.1
b) Give the expression for K, the thermodynamic equilibrium constant, for reaction 4.1
c) What is the numerical value for K for reaction 4.1?
d) Will the numerical value for K for reaction 4.1 at T = 50.0 °C be larger than, equal to, or smaller than the value at T = 25.0 °C. Justify your answer. (HINT: Think of how Le Chatlier’s principle applies.)
