QJEEM20Ch71dc: JEE Main 2020 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM20Ch71dc Solution: The variation of equilibrium constant with temperature is given …

The variation of equilibrium constant with temperature is given below :

Temperature Equilibrium Constant
T1 = 25oC K1 = 10
T2 = 100oC K2 = 100

The values of ΔHo, ΔGo at
T1 and ΔGo at T2 (in kJ mol–1) respectively, are close to :
[Use R = 8.314 J K–1 mol–1]

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 28.4, –5.71 and –14.29
  • B 0.64, –7.14 and –5.71
  • C 28.4, –7.14 and –5.71
  • D 0.64, –5.71 and –14.29

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

ln [k2k1] = ΔH∘R{1T1−1T2}

⇒ ln(10) = ΔH∘R{1298−1373}

⇒ ΔH∘ = 28.37 kJ/mol

ΔGo = –RT ln K

T1 = 25oC K1 = 10

ΔGo at T1 = –8.314 × 298 × 2.303 × log 10

= –5.71 kJ/mol

ΔGo at T2 = –8.314 × 373 × 2.303 × log(100)

= –14.29 kJ/mol
