Answer: The Gibbs free energy of the reaction is -114629.4 J
Explanation:
To calculate the Gibbs free energy of the reaction, we use the equation:
[tex]\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K_{eq}[/tex]
where,
[tex]\Delta G^o[/tex] = Gibbs free energy of the reaction = ?
R = Gas constant = [tex]8.314 J/K.mol[/tex]
T = temperature of the reaction = 298 K
[tex]K_{eq}[/tex] = equilibrium constant of the reaction = [tex]1.24\times 10^{20}[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\Delta G^o=-(8.314J/mol.K\times 298K\times \ln (1.24\times 10^{20}))\\\\\Delta G^o=-114629.4J[/tex]
Hence, the Gibbs free energy of the reaction is -114629.4 J
