In a closed flask at 600600 K, one mole of X2_2Y4_4(g) attains equilibrium as given below :
X2Y4(g)⇌2XY2(g)\text{X}_2\text{Y}_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{XY}_2(g)
At equilibrium, 75%75\% X2_2Y4_4(g) was dissociated and the total pressure is 11 atm. The magnitude of ΔrG⊖\Delta_r G^{\ominus} (in kJ mol−1^{-1}) at this temperature is __________. (Nearest Integer) (Given : R =8.3= 8.3 J mol−1^{-1} K−1^{-1}; ln⁡10=2.3\ln 10 = 2.3, log⁡2=0.3\log 2 = 0.3, log⁡3=0.48\log 3 = 0.48, log⁡5=0.69\log 5 = 0.69, log⁡7=0.84\log 7 = 0.84)

Step-by-step solution

The given equilibrium reaction is:
X2Y4(g)⇌2XY2(g)\text{X}_2\text{Y}_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{XY}_2(g)

Initial moles: 11
Degree of dissociation, α=0.75\alpha = 0.75
Moles of X2Y4\text{X}_2\text{Y}_4 at equilibrium =1−α=1−0.75=0.25= 1 - \alpha = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25
Moles of XY2\text{XY}_2 at equilibrium =2α=2×0.75=1.5= 2\alpha = 2 \times 0.75 = 1.5
Total moles at equilibrium =0.25+1.5=1.75= 0.25 + 1.5 = 1.75

Given total pressure, P=1P = 1 atm.
Partial pressure of X2Y4\text{X}_2\text{Y}_4, PX2Y4=0.251.75×1=17P_{\text{X}_2\text{Y}_4} = \dfrac{0.25}{1.75} \times 1 = \dfrac{1}{7} atm
Partial pressure of XY2\text{XY}_2, PXY2=1.51.75×1=67P_{\text{XY}_2} = \dfrac{1.5}{1.75} \times 1 = \dfrac{6}{7} atm

The equilibrium constant KpK_p is given by:
Kp=(PXY2)2PX2Y4=(67)217=367K_p = \dfrac{(P_{\text{XY}_2})^2}{P_{\text{X}_2\text{Y}_4}} = \dfrac{(\dfrac{6}{7})^2}{\dfrac{1}{7}} = \dfrac{36}{7}

The standard Gibbs free energy change is:
ΔrG⊖=−RTln⁡Kp=−2.3RTlog⁡Kp\Delta_r G^{\ominus} = -RT \ln K_p = -2.3 RT \log K_p

Calculating log⁡Kp\log K_p:
log⁡(367)=log⁡36−log⁡7=log⁡(22×32)−log⁡7\log \left(\dfrac{36}{7}\right) = \log 36 - \log 7 = \log (2^2 \times 3^2) - \log 7
log⁡(367)=2log⁡2+2log⁡3−log⁡7\log \left(\dfrac{36}{7}\right) = 2 \log 2 + 2 \log 3 - \log 7
log⁡(367)=2(0.3)+2(0.48)−0.84=0.6+0.96−0.84=0.72\log \left(\dfrac{36}{7}\right) = 2(0.3) + 2(0.48) - 0.84 = 0.6 + 0.96 - 0.84 = 0.72

Substituting the values into the ΔrG⊖\Delta_r G^{\ominus} equation:
ΔrG⊖=−2.3×8.3×600×0.72\Delta_r G^{\ominus} = -2.3 \times 8.3 \times 600 \times 0.72
ΔrG⊖=−8246.88 J mol−1=−8.24688 kJ mol−1\Delta_r G^{\ominus} = -8246.88 \text{ J mol}^{-1} = -8.24688 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}

The magnitude of ΔrG⊖\Delta_r G^{\ominus} is 8.24688 kJ mol−18.24688 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}.
Rounding to the nearest integer, we get 88.
