For the following reaction dHorxn= 63.11 kJ/mol and dSorxn= 148 J/mol K.

BaCl2H2O(s) <---> BaCl2(s) + H2O(g)

a) Write out the equilibrium constant for the reaction and use it to calculate the vapor pressure of the gaseous water (PH2O) avoe the BaCl2 H2O at 298K.

b) Assuming dHorxn and dSorxn are temperature independent estimate the temperature at which the quilibrium constant (and the PH2O) = 1bar.

Homework Answers

Answer #1

a. dGorxn = dHorxn - T.dSorxn

= 63110 J/mol - 298 K.148 J/mol K

= 19006 J/mol

dGorxn = -RT lnKeq

or, lnKeq = dGorxn / -RT = (19006 J/mol)/ -(8.314 J.mol-1.K­-1)(298K)

or, Keq = e(19006 J/mol)/ -(8.314 J.mol-1.K­-1)(298K) = 4.66*10-4

BaCl2H2O(s) <---> BaCl2(s) + H2O(g)

Keq = a BaCl2 * aH2O/a BaCl2H2O           where a = activity. as activity of solid substance is assumed to be 1, so we can write

Keq = aH2O = pH2O = 4.66*10-4 atm

b. when Keq = PH2O = 1

dGorxn = -RT lnKeq = 0

dGorxn = dHorxn - T.dSorxn

or, 0 = dHorxn - T.dSorxn

or, T = dHorxn/ dSorxn = 63110/148 = 426.4 K
