The equilibrium constant at 25°C for the process. CO3+(aq) + 6NH3(aq) ⇌ [CO(NH3)6]3(aq) is 2.5 × 106. Calculate the value of ΔG° at 25°C. (R = 8.314 JK1 mol-1). In which direction is the reaction spontaneous under standard conditions?

Answer»

ΔG° = -2.303 RT log K 

= -2.303 × 3.134 × 298 log (2.5 x 106

= -5705.8 [0.3980 + 6.0000] 

= -5705.8 × 6.3980 = -36.505 k/mol. 

The reaction is spontaneous in forward direction under standard conditions.
