Q15 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (19 Aug Shift 2) · Chemistry

Using the data provided, find the value of equilibrium constant for the following reaction at 298 K and 1 atm pressure. NO(g)+12O2( g)⇌NO2( g)
ΔfH0NO(g)=90.4kJ.mol−1

ΔfH0NO2(g)=32.48kJ⋅mol−1

ΔS∘@298K=−70.8J⋅K−1⋅mol−1

antilog⁡(0.50)=3162

  • A
    3.162×104
  • B
    3.162×10-4
  • Correct answer
    C
    3.162×106
  • D
    3.162×107

Solution

The given reaction is

NO(g)+12O2( g)⇌NO2( g)

The enthalpy of the above reaction given by the difference of enthalpies of reactant side and product side.

Therefore,

∆cH = ∆fHNO2-∆fHNO+12∆fHO2∆cH = 32.8-90.4+120∆cH = -57.6 KJmol-1

Also, we know that Gibb's free energy can be determined by

∆G = ∆H-T∆S∆G = 57600 Jmol-1-298×-70.8 JK-1mol-1∆G  =- 36501.5  Jmol-1

Again, Using relation of Gibb's free energy with equilibrium constant i.e.

∆G  = -2.303×8.31×298 logk =-36501.5 Jmol-1K= 3.162 ×106 

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