Answer #1

Answer

∆Grxn = 0.48 kJ/mol

Explanation

∆G°rxn = - RTlnKp

∆G°rxn = - (0.008314kJ/mol K × 298.15K × 2.303 × log(81.9)

∆G°rxn = - 10.92 kJ/mol

I2(g) + Cl2(g) <------> 2ICl(g)

Kp = (PICl)2/(PI2× PCl2)

reaction quotient, Q= (PICl, initial)2/(PI2,initial × PCl2, initial)

Q = (2.65atm)2/(0.320am){0.221atm) = 99.3

∆Grxn = ∆G°rxn + RTlnQ

= -10.92 kJ/mol + (0.008314 kJ/mol K × 298.15K ×2.303×log( 99.3)

= -10.92 kJ + 11.40 kJ

= 0.48 kJ/mol
