Calculate the standard Gibbs free energy change of reaction in each of the following using the standard
Question:
Calculate the standard Gibbs free energy change of reaction in each of the following using the standard molar values for Gibbs free energy change given here. In each case, comment on whether the reaction is spontaneous or not, under standard conditions.
(Values for Gθin kJ mol–1: C3H8(g) = –23.4,
CO2(g) = –394.4, Fe2O3(s) = –742.2, H2O(l) = –273.2,
H2O2(l) = –120.4, MgO(s) = –569.4, NaCl(s) = –384.2,
NH4NO3(s) = –184.0, N2O(g) = +104.2)
a. 2H2O2(l) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
b. NH4NO3(s) → N2O(g) + 2H2O(g)
c. 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s)
d. C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l)
e. 3Mg(s) + Fe2O3(s) → 3MgO(s) + 2Fe(s)
