Consider the production of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen,
N2 + 3H2 2NH3
at 298 K and 1 bar. From the values of Δ H and ΔS tabulated at the back of this book, compute for this reaction and check that it is consistent with the value given in the table.

Respuesta :

The free Gibbs energy ΔG for a given chemical reaction is -33kJ.

Gibbs free energy: What does it mean?

The Gibbs free energy, also referred to as the Gibbs function, Gibbs energy, or free enthalpy, is a unit of measure for the maximum amount of work carried out in a thermodynamic system under constant temperature and pressure. The letter "G" stands for Gibbs free energy.

Given equation.

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH3

Formula for finding change in gibbs free energy of a chemical reaction is as follows

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Where

ΔH = change in enthalpy

ΔS = change in entropy

T = absolute temperature

Given chemical reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen is

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH3

According to the value slipped in thew table from the back book, ΔH for H₂ and N₂ is zero and ΔH for NH₃ = -46.11kJ

ΔH (2NH₃) = 2(-46.11)

ΔH (2NH₃) = -92.22kJ

According to the value slipped in thew table from the back book the entropy value for N₂ is SN₂ = 192.61J/k

H₂ is SH₂ = 3( 130.68J/k)

NH₃ is SNH₃ =192.45J/k

So the change in entropy for the chemical reaction is,

ΔS = [(2×192.45) - (191.61) - (3×130.68J/k)]

ΔS = 384.9 - 191.61 - 392.04

ΔS = -198.75J/k

The amount of heat that can go out of the system

TΔS = (298k) (-198.75J/K)

TΔS = - 59.23 kJ

Substitute - 59.23 kJ for TΔS and - 92.22kJ for ΔH

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

ΔG = -92.22kJ - (-59.23kJ)

ΔG = -33kJ

Free Gibbs energy ΔG for a given chemical reaction is -33kJ.
