Question

Calculate free energy change for the reaction at 27oC
H2(g)+Cl2(g)2HCl(g)
by using the bond energy and energy data.
Bond energies of HH,ClCl and HCl bonds are 435 kJmol1,240 kJmol1 and 430 kJmol1 respectively. Standard entropies of H2,Cl2 and HCl are 131,223 and 187 JK1mol1 respectively.

Solution

Calculating Hreaction

H2(g)+Cl2(g)2HCl(g); T=300K

Hreaction=HfproductHfreactant

HfH2=435 kJmol1; HfCl2=240 kJmol; HfHCl=430 kJmol

Hreaction=2×430435240=185 kJmol

Calculating Sreaction

Sreaction=SproductSreactant

SH2=131 JK1; SCl2=223 JK1; SHCl=187 JK1

Sreaction=2×187223131=20 JK1

Now, Greaction=HrxnTSreaction

=18520(300)1000

=1856

179 kJmol1

Grxn=179 kJmol1
