The correct Answer is:
To find the standard Gibbs free energy change `(ΔG°)` for the dissociation of `N₂O₄(g)` to `NO₂(g)`, we can use the relationship between Gibbs free energy change and the equilibrium constant: \[ ΔG° = -RT \ln K \] where: - \( R \) is the universal gas constant (8.314 J/(K·mol)), - \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin, - \( K \) is the equilibrium constant. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert the temperature to Kelvin**: \[ T = 25°C + 273.15 = 298.15 K \] 2. **Substitute the values into the formula**: Given that \( K = 0.15 \), we can substitute \( R \), \( T \), and \( K \) into the Gibbs free energy equation: \[ ΔG° = - (8.314 \, \text{J/(K·mol)}) \times (298.15 \, \text{K}) \times \ln(0.15) \] 3. **Calculate \( \ln(0.15) \)**: \[ \ln(0.15) \approx -1.897 \] 4. **Plug in the value of \( \ln(0.15) \)**: \[ ΔG° = - (8.314) \times (298.15) \times (-1.897) \] 5. **Calculate the product**: \[ ΔG° = 8.314 \times 298.15 \times 1.897 \approx 4.7 \, \text{kJ/mol} \] 6. **Final Result**: \[ ΔG° \approx 4.7 \, \text{kJ/mol} \] ### Conclusion: The standard Gibbs free energy change for the dissociation of `N₂O₄(g)` to `NO₂(g)` at `25°C` is approximately **4.7 kJ/mol**.
