The value of ΔGo for the reaction, N2(g) + 3 H2(g) <=> 2 NH3(g) is -32.90 kJ at 298 K. Calculate the value of ΔG in kJ at 298 K if the partial pressures of N2, H2 and NH3 are 7.765, 8.219, and 14 atm respectively.

ΔG = -35.3 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

ΔG° = -32.90 kJ at 298 K

PArtial pressure of N2 = 7.765 atm

Partial pressure of H2 = 8.219 atm

Partial pressure of NH3 = 14 atm

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2(g) + 3 H2(g) <=> 2 NH3(g)   ΔG° = -32.90 kJ

Step 3: Calculate Q

Q = p(NH3)² / p(N2) * p^(H2)³

Q = (14)²/ (7.765 * 8.219³)

Q = 0.3737

Step 4: Calculate ΔG

ΔG = ΔG° + RT ln Q

⇒with  ΔG° = -32.90 kJ/mol = -32900 J/mol

⇒with R = 8.314 J/mol

⇒with T = the temperature = 298 K

⇒with ln Q = ln (0.3737) = -0.9843

ΔG = -32900 J/mol + (8.314 * 298) * -0.9843

ΔG = -35338.7 J/mol

ΔG = -35.3 kJ/mol

chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules. it can only be seen when it is released in a chemical reaction. when chemical energy is released, the substance from which the energy came is often changed into an entirely different substance.

this chemical reaction releases energy in the form of light and heat. chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the arrangement of atoms within molecules. breaking chemical bonds requires energy, while forming new chemical bonds releases energy.

the atp molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. in this form,energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.
