The formation constants at 25°C for Fe(CN)64– and Fe(EDTA)2– are 1.00x1037 and 2.10x1014, respectively. Answer the questions below.
1)Calculate K under standard conditions for the reaction Fe(EDTA)2−(aq) + 6CN−(aq) -----> Fe(CN)4−6(aq) + EDTA4−(aq)
2)Calculate ΔG° for the reaction. (kJ/mol)
Fe^2+(aq) + 6CN^-(aq) ----> Fe(CN)64–(aq) Kf = 1.00*10^37
Fe^2+(aq) + EDTA^4-(aq) ---> Fe(EDTA)2–(aq) Kf = 2.10*10^14
form the given data,
Fe(EDTA)2–(aq) -----> Fe^2+(aq) + EDTA^4-(aq) K1 = 1/(2.10*10^14) = 4.762*10^-15
Fe^2+(aq) + 6CN^-(aq) ----> Fe(CN)64–(aq)
Kf = 1.00*10^37
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fe(EDTA)2−(aq) + 6CN−(aq) -----> Fe(CN)4−6(aq) +
EDTA4−(aq) K2 =
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
k2 = k1*kf
= (4.762*10^-15)*(1.00*10^37)
= 4.762*10^22
2) DG0 = - RTlnK2
= -8.314*298.15ln(4.762*10^22)
= -129.44 kj/mol
