The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the value of \(-\Delta G^\circ / (2.303 RT)\) for the given reversible reaction \(A \rightleftharpoons B\) with the provided rate constants for the forward and backward reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Rate Constants**: - The forward rate constant \(K_1\) is given by: \[ K_1 = 10^{15} e^{-\frac{200}{T}} \] - The backward rate constant \(K_2\) is given by: \[ K_2 = 10^{12} e^{-\frac{200}{T}} \] 2. **Determine the Equilibrium Constant \(K_c\)**: - The equilibrium constant \(K_c\) for the reaction can be expressed as the ratio of the forward rate constant to the backward rate constant: \[ K_c = \frac{K_1}{K_2} \] 3. **Substitute the Values of \(K_1\) and \(K_2\)**: - Substitute the expressions for \(K_1\) and \(K_2\) into the equation for \(K_c\): \[ K_c = \frac{10^{15} e^{-\frac{200}{T}}}{10^{12} e^{-\frac{200}{T}}} \] 4. **Simplify the Expression**: - The exponential terms \(e^{-\frac{200}{T}}\) cancel out: \[ K_c = \frac{10^{15}}{10^{12}} = 10^{15 - 12} = 10^{3} \] 5. **Relate \(-\Delta G^\circ\) to \(K_c\)**: - From thermodynamics, we know that: \[ -\Delta G^\circ = 2.303 RT \log K_c \] - Thus, we can express \(-\Delta G^\circ / (2.303 RT)\) as: \[ -\frac{\Delta G^\circ}{2.303 RT} = \log K_c \] 6. **Calculate \(\log K_c\)**: - Since \(K_c = 10^{3}\), we can find: \[ \log K_c = \log(10^{3}) = 3 \] 7. **Final Result**: - Therefore, the value of \(-\Delta G^\circ / (2.303 RT)\) is: \[ -\frac{\Delta G^\circ}{2.303 RT} = 3 \] ### Conclusion: The final answer is: \[ -\frac{\Delta G^\circ}{2.303 RT} = 3 \]
