if delta Grxn = -24.1kj for a reaction at equilibrium with a temp of 1000°C, what is the equilibrium constant?
Answer :
Gibbs Energy Change (G ), Temperature (T) and an Equilibrium constant (k) are related through the equation,
G = -RTlnk
lnk = - G RT ........ (1)
Given data: G = -24.1 kJ = -24.1 x 1000 J = -24100 J
T = 1000 oC = 1000 + 273.15 = 1273.15 K
Molar gas constant R = 8.314 J.K/mole
Using these values in eq.(1) we get,
lnk = -24100 / (8.314 * 1273.15)
lnk = -2.277
k = e-2.277.
k = 0.103
Is the equilibrium constant value at given conditions.
