Consider the following reaction: n2(g) + 3h2(g) 2nh3(g) determine the standard free energy of the the reaction at298k?

Given reaction:

N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)

The standard free energy change is given as:

ΔG° = ∑ nΔGf(products) - ∑ nΔGf(reactants)

      = [2ΔGf(NH3(g))] - [ΔGf(N2(g)) + 3ΔGf(H2(g))]

       = [2(-16.48)] - [ 1(0) + 3(0)] = -32.96 kJ

Ans: Free energy of the reaction is -32.96 kJ, i.e. reaction is spontaneous.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
