Q.
Standard enthalpy and standard entropy changes for the oxidation of ammonia at 298K are −382.64kJmol−1 and −145.6JK−1mol−1, respectively. Standard Gibbs energy change for the same reaction at 298K is
For the oxidation of ammonia at 298K the standard enthalpy change (ΔH) and standard entropy change (ΔS) are −382.64kJmol−1 and −145.6JK−1mol−1 respectively. The relationship of Gibbs free energy (ΔG) with ΔH and ΔS is represented in form of following equation. ΔG=ΔH−T⋅ΔS
Given that ΔH=−382.64kJmol−1 ΔS=−145.6JK−1mol−1 =−145.6×10−3kJK−1
or ΔG=−382.64−(298×−145.6×10−3) =−339.3kJmol−1
