Consider the reaction: A (aq) ⇌ B (aq) at 253 K where the initial concentration of A = 1.00 M and the initial concentration of B = 0.000 M. At equilibrium it is found that the concentration of B = 0.357 M. What is the maximum amount of work that can be done by this system when the concentration of A = 0.867 M? (in kJ)

Answer:

The maximum amount of work that can be done by this system is -2.71 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Maximum amount of work denoted change in gibbs free energy [tex](\Delta G)[/tex] during the reaction.

Equilibrium concentration of B = 0.357 M

So equilibrium concentration of A = (1-0.357) M = 0.643 M

So equilibrium constant at 253 K, [tex]K_{eq}= \frac{[B]}{[A]}[/tex]

[A] and [B] represent equilibrium concentrations

[tex]K_{eq}=\frac{0.357}{0.643}=0.555[/tex]

When concentration of A = 0.867 M then B = (1-0.867) M = 0.133 M

So reaction quotient at this situation, [tex]Q=\frac{0.133}{0.867}=0.153[/tex]

We know,  [tex]\Delta G=RTln(\frac{Q}{K_{eq}})[/tex]

where R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin

Here R is 8.314 J/(mol.K), T is 253 K, Q is 0.153 and [tex]K_{eq}[/tex] is 0.555

So, [tex]\Delta G=8.314\times 253\times ln(\frac{0.153}{0.555})mol/K[/tex]

                           = -2710 J/mol

                            = -2.71 kJ/mol

The maximum amount of workdone is mathematically given as

dG= -2.71 kJ/mol

What is the maximum amount of work that can be done by this system when the concentration of A = 0.867 M?

Question Parameter(s):

A (aq) ⇌ B (aq) at 253 K

initial concentration of A = 1.00 M

initial concentration of B = 0.000 M.

the concentration of B = 0.357 M.

Equilibrum conc= (1-0.357) M = 0.643 M

Generally, the equation for the  Equilbrum constant is mathematically given as

[tex]K_{eq}= \frac{[B]}{[A]}[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]K_{eq}=\frac{0.357}{0.643}[/tex]

Keq=0.555

The reaction quotient

Q=0.133/0.867

Q=0.153

In conclusion

[tex]d G=RTln(\frac{Q}{K_{eq}})[/tex]

Hence

[tex]d G=8.314\times 253* ln(\frac{0.153}{0.555})[/tex]

dG= -2.71 kJ/mol
