General Chemistry 2: Thermodynamics and Equilibrium

N2_2 (g) + 3 H2_2 (g) \leftrightharpoons 2 NH3_3 (g)

For the reaction above, calculate the free energy of formation, \triangleGf_f^\circ for each of the products and reactions.

What is the standard free energy change, \triangleG^\circ, for the following reaction at 298 K? Is the reaction spontaneous?

2 PCl3_3 (g) + O2_2 (g) \longrightarrow 2 POCl3_3, \triangleH = - 620.6 kJ/mol

Values of standard molar entropy, Sf_{f}^\circ are as follows: 2 PCl3_3 (g), 311.8 J/K; O2_2 (g), 205.1 J/K; POCl3_3, 222.4 J/K

What is the standard free energy change, \triangleG^\circ, for the following reaction?

Zn (s) + 2 H+^+ (aq) \longrightarrow Zn2+^{2+} (aq) + H2_2 (g), 25^\circC

Standard free energies of formation, \triangleGf_{f}^\circ are as follows: Zn (s), 0 kJ/mol; 2 H+^+ (aq), 0 kJ/mol; Zn2+^{2+} (aq), -147.1 kJ/mol; H2_2 (g), 0 kJ/mol
