KCET2011ChemistryThermodynamics (C)
For the reversible reaction, A(s)+B(g) (g)+D(g), G^ =-350 ~kJ , which one of the following statements is true?
Options
- AThe reaction is thermodynamically non-feasible
- BThe entropy change is negative
- CEquilibrium constant is greater than one
- DThe reaction should be instantaneous
Correct answer
C. Equilibrium constant is greater than one
Step-by-step solution
A(s)+B(g) C(g)+D(g), G^ =-350 ~kJ Relationship between G^ and equilibrium constant is G^ =-2.303 R T K_ p When K_ p >1 ; G^ is negative.
