At a constant temperature, the reaction X_ 2 (g) + 3Y_ 2 (g)...

At a constant temperature, the reaction X2(g)+3Y2(g)⇌2XY3(g)X_{2}(g) + 3Y_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2XY_{3}(g) has an equilibrium constant K=kK = k and a standard Gibbs free energy change ΔG∘=−z\Delta G^{\circ} = -z. What will be the standard Gibbs free energy change for the reaction XY3(g)⇌12X2(g)+32Y2(g)XY_{3}(g) \rightleftharpoons \dfrac{1}{2}X_{2}(g) + \dfrac{3}{2}Y_{2}(g)?

Options

  1. A+z/2+z/2
  2. B−z/2-z/2
  3. C+2z+2z
  4. D+z+\sqrt{z}

Correct answer

A. +z/2+z/2

Step-by-step solution

For the reaction X2(g)+3Y2(g)⇌2XY3(g)X_{2}(g) + 3Y_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2XY_{3}(g), the standard Gibbs free energy change is ΔG1∘=−z\Delta G^{\circ}_{1} = -z.

The target reaction is XY3(g)⇌12X2(g)+32Y2(g)XY_{3}(g) \rightleftharpoons \dfrac{1}{2}X_{2}(g) + \dfrac{3}{2}Y_{2}(g).

This reaction is obtained by reversing the first reaction and multiplying it by 12\dfrac{1}{2}.

When a reaction is reversed and multiplied by a factor nn, the new standard Gibbs free energy change is given by ΔG2∘=−nΔG1∘\Delta G^{\circ}_{2} = -n \Delta G^{\circ}_{1}.

Here, n=12n = \dfrac{1}{2}.

ΔG2∘=−12×(−z)=+z2\Delta G^{\circ}_{2} = -\dfrac{1}{2} \times (-z) = +\dfrac{z}{2}.

Answer: +z/2+z/2
