Solution
The correct option is D−257kJ/mol Given that the reaction is CO(g)+(12)O2(g)→CO2(g);△Ho=−282.84kJ and, SoCO2=213.8JK−1mol−1,SoCO(g)=197.9JK−1mol−1,SoO2=205.0JK−1mol−1 we know that- △So=∑Soproducts−∑So(reactants) =[SoCO2]−[So(CO)+12SoO2] =213.8−[197.9+12×205] △So=−86.6JK−1mol−1=−86.6×10−3kJK−1mol−1
According to Gibbs - Helmholtz equation, △Go=△Ho−T△So =−282.84−298×(−86.6×10−3) =−282.84+25.807 =−257.033kJ/mol
