Using the data given below, calculate the value of equilibrium constant for the reaction. `underset("Acetylene")(3HC-=CH(g)) hArr underset("Benzene")(C_(6)H_(6)(g))` at 298 K , assuming ideal gas behaviour. `Delta_(f)G^(@) ` for `HC-= CH(g) = 2.09 xx 10^(5) J mol^(-1), Delta_(f)G^(@) ` for`C_(6)H_(6)(g) =1.24xx 10^(5) J mol^(-1)` `R = 8.314 J K^(-1) mol^(-1)` Based on your calculated value, comment whether this process can be recommended as a practical method for making benzene. |

Answer» Correct Answer - `K = 1.43 xx 10^(88) ,` Yes `Delta_(r) G^(@) =Delta_(f)G^(@) (C_(6)H_(6)) - 3 Delta_(f)G^(@) (HC -= CH) = 1.24 xx 10^(5) - 3 ( 2.9 xx 10^(5)) J = - 5.03 xx 10^(5)J` `Delta_(r)G^(@) = - 2.303 RT log K `. Calculate K `Delta _(r)G^(@) ` is negative and K is very high . Hence, the process can occur easily. |
