Medium INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

For a dimerization reaction,
2A(g) $\to$ A2(g)
at 298 K, $\Delta$Uo = –20 kJ mol–1, $\Delta$So = –30 JK–1 mol–1,
then the $\Delta$Go will be _____ J.

Answer (integer) -13540

Solution

$\Delta$G<sup>o</sup> = $\Delta$H<sup>o</sup> - T$\Delta$S<sup>o</sup> <br><br>= ($\Delta$U<sup>o</sup> + $\Delta$n<sub>g</sub>RT) - T$\Delta$S<sup>o</sup> <br><br>= $$\left[ {\left\{ { - 20 + \left( 1 \right){{8.314} \over {1000}} \times 298} \right\} - {{298} \over {1000}} \times \left( { - 30} \right)} \right]$$ kJ <br><br>= – 13.537572 kJ <br><br>= – 13537.57 Joule
