3A(g) + B(g) ==> 2C(g)
11.5.....8.60.........0.510 ..... non-equilibrium partial pressures
Q = (C)2 / (A)3(B)
Q = (0.510)2 / (11.5)3(8,60)
Q = 1.99x10-5
∆G = ∆Gº + RT ln Q
∆G = ?
∆Gº = 58.3 kJ/mol
RT = (8.314 J/Kmol)(1120K) = 9312 J/mol = 9.312 kJ/mol (change units to match those of ∆Gº)
ln Q = ln 1.99x10-5 = -10.8
∆G = 58.3 + (9.312)(-10.8) = 58.3 - 100.6
∆G = -42.3 J/mol
∆G = ∆Gº + RT ln Q
∆G = ?
∆Gº = 4.5 kJ/mol
R = 8.314 J/Kmol
T = 295K
Q = ?
Plug in the values (see solution above) and solve for Q. Remember to keep units of R and ∆Gº the same.
