The value of $\log _{10} K$ for a reaction $\mathrm{A} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{B}$ is (Given : $\Delta_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{H}_{298 \mathrm{O}}^{\circ}=-54.07 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$, $\Delta_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{S}_{298 \mathrm{~K}}^{\circ}=10 \mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ and $\mathrm{R}=8.314 \mathrm{JK}^{-1}$ $\mathrm{mol}^{-1}$; $2.303 \times 8.314 \times 298=5705)$

  • A
    5
  • Correct answer
    B
    10
  • C
    95
  • D
    100

Solution

$$ \begin{aligned} & \text { } \mathrm{A} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{B} \\ & \Delta G^{\circ}=\Delta H^{\circ}-\mathrm{T} \Delta S^{\circ} \\ & \Delta G^{\circ}=-2.303 \mathrm{RT} \log _{10} \mathrm{~K} \\ & -2.303 \mathrm{RT} \log _{10} \mathrm{~K}=\Delta H^{\circ}-T \Delta S^{\circ} \\ & 2.303 \mathrm{RT} \log _{10} \mathrm{~K}=T \Delta S^{\circ}-\Delta H^{\circ} \\ & \log _{10} \mathrm{~K}=\frac{T \Delta S^{\circ}-\Delta H^{\circ}}{2.303 R T} \\ & =\frac{298 \times 10+54.07 \times 1000}{2.303 \times 8.314 \times 298} \\ & =9.998 \approx 10 \\ & \end{aligned} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
