Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of ΔG° for the dissociation of N₂O₄ at a given temperature and equilibrium pressure. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution:

### Step 1: Calculate the Molecular Weight of N₂O₄
The molecular weight (D) of N₂O₄ can be calculated as follows:
- N: 14 g/mol (2 nitrogen atoms)
- O: 16 g/mol (4 oxygen atoms)

\[ D = (2 \times 14) + (4 \times 16) = 28 + 64 = 92 \text{ g/mol} \]

### Step 2: Calculate the Vapour Density
The vapour density (d) is given as \( \frac{230}{6} \).

\[ d = \frac{230}{6} \approx 38.33 \text{ g/L} \]

### Step 3: Use the Vapour Density to Find the Degree of Dissociation (α)
Using the formula for vapour density:

\[ d = \frac{D}{1 + (N - 1) \alpha} \]

Where:
- D = molecular weight of N₂O₄ = 92 g/mol
- N = number of moles of gas = 2 (N₂O₄ dissociates into 2 NO₂)

Rearranging the formula gives:

\[ \frac{230}{6} = \frac{92}{1 + (2 - 1) \alpha} \]

Cross-multiplying and solving for α:

\[ 1 + \alpha = \frac{92 \times 6}{230} \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ 1 + \alpha = \frac{552}{230} \approx 2.4 \]

Thus,

\[ \alpha \approx 2.4 - 1 = 1.4 \]

This is not physically meaningful since α cannot exceed 1. Let's recalculate:

\[ d = \frac{D}{1 + \alpha} \]

Substituting values:

\[ \frac{230}{6} = \frac{92}{1 + \alpha} \]

Cross-multiplying gives:

\[ 230(1 + \alpha) = 552 \]

Solving for α:

\[ 230 + 230\alpha = 552 \implies 230\alpha = 552 - 230 \implies 230\alpha = 322 \implies \alpha \approx 0.14 \]

### Step 4: Calculate Kp Using α
The equilibrium constant Kp can be calculated using:

\[ K_p = \frac{(P_{NO_2})^2}{P_{N_2O_4}} = \frac{(2\alpha P)^2}{(1 - \alpha)P} \]

Substituting α and P:

\[ K_p = \frac{(2(0.14)(0.96))^2}{(1 - 0.14)(0.96)} = \frac{(0.2688)^2}{0.86 \times 0.96} \]

Calculating:

\[ K_p = \frac{0.0723}{0.8256} \approx 0.0876 \]

### Step 5: Calculate ΔG°
Using the formula:

\[ \Delta G° = -RT \ln K_p \]

Convert Kp to log base 10:

\[ \ln K_p = 2.303 \log K_p \]

Using \( K_p \approx 0.0876 \):

\[ \log K_p \approx -1.06 \implies \ln K_p \approx -2.303 \times 1.06 \approx -2.44 \]

Substituting values into ΔG°:

\[ \Delta G° = - (8.314 \, \text{J/mol K})(300 \, \text{K})(-2.44) \]

Calculating:

\[ \Delta G° \approx 6075.5 \, \text{J/mol} \approx 6.08 \, \text{kJ/mol} \]

### Step 6: Convert to kcal
To convert to kcal:

\[ \Delta G° \approx \frac{6075.5}{4184} \approx 1.45 \, \text{kcal} \]

### Final Answer
Thus, the value of ΔG° is approximately **1.45 kcal**.
