Find out the value of equilibrium constant for the following reaction at 298 K:
Standard Gibbs energy change, at the given temperature, is -13.6 kJ mol-1.
The equilibrium constant at for the process
Calculate the value of In which direction is the reaction spontaneous when reactants and products are under standard conditions?
Using the data given below, calculate the value of equilibrium constant for the reaction
assuming ideal behaviour.
State second law of thermodynamics in terms of entropy.
All spontaneous processes are accompanied by a net increase of entropy, i.e. for all spontaneous processes, the total entropy change (sum of the entropy changes of the system and the surroundings) is positive.
Since all naturally occurring processes are spontaneous and are accompanied by a net increase of entropy, therefore the second law of thermodynamics may also be stated as: “The entropy of the inverse is continuously increasing and tends to be maximum.
