Question

Calculate

1)    ?G for the decomposition of liquid water, H2O (l), to hydrogen gas and oxygen gas at the following 5 temperatures:

2)    Equilibrium constant, Kc, for the decomposition of liquid water, H2O (l), to hydrogen gas and oxygen gas at the following 5 temperatures:

1)       25.0 0 C        ?G = ? and                equilibrium constant = ?

2)        927 0 C        ?G = ? and                equilibrium constant = ?

3)    1427 0 C         ?G = ? and                equilibrium constant = ?

4)    16270 C           ?G = ? and                equilibrium constant = ?

5)    18270 C           ?G = ? and                equilibrium constant = ?

Recommendations: Tabulate and plot these values

Rationalize very briefly why Kc values are not constant at these temperatures.

Explanation / Answer

G =   H - TS

G = -2.303 R T log [Kc] { R = 8.314 J/K.mol)

2H2(g) + O2 (g) <=====> 2H2O(l)

from the table H = -285.8 KJ/mol and S = 69.9 J/K.mol

1. G at 25.0 C (25 +273 = 298 K) temperature

G = -285800 J/mol - (298 K x 69.9 J/K.mol)

G = -306630.2 J/mol = -306.63 KJ/mol

for reverse of the previous reaction

2H2O(l) <====> O2 (g) + 2H2 (g)

G = 306630.2 J/mol = 306.63 KJ/mol

G = -2.303 R T log [Kc]

306630.2 J/mol = -2.303 x 8.314 x 298 log[Kc]

Kc = 1.82 x 10-58

2. at 927.0 C = 1200 K

G = -285800 J/mol - (1200 K x 69.9 J/K.mol)

G = -369680 J/mol = -369.680 KJ/mol

2H2O(l) <====> O2 (g) + 2H2 (g)

G = 369680 J/mol = 369.68 KJ/mol

G = -2.303 R T log [Kc]

369680 J/mol = -2.303 x 8.314 x 1200 x log[Kc]

Kc = 8.139 x 10-17

3. at 1427.0 C = 1700.0 K

G = -285800 J/mol - (1700 K x 69.9 J/K.mol)

G = -404630 J/mol = -404.63 KJ/mol

2H2O(l) <====> O2 (g) + 2H2 (g)

G = 404630 J/mol = 404.63 KJ/mol

G = -2.303 R T log [Kc]

404630 J/mol = -2.303 x 8.314 x 1700 x log[Kc]

Kc = 3.7 x 10-13

4.at 1627.0 C = 1900 K

G = -285800 J/mol - (1900 K x 69.9 J/K.mol)

G = -418610 J/mol = -418.61 KJ/mol

2H2O(l) <====> O2 (g) + 2H2 (g)

G = 418610 J/mol = 418.61 KJ/mol

G = -2.303 R T log [Kc]

418610 J/mol = -2.303 x 8.314 x 1900 x log[Kc]

Kc = 3.11 x 10-12

5. at 1827.0 C = 2100 K

G = -285800 J/mol - (2100 K x 69.9 J/K.mol)

G = -432590 J/mol = -432.59 KJ/mol

2H2O(l) <====> O2 (g) + 2H2 (g)

G = 432590 J/mol = 432.59 KJ/mol

G = -2.303 R T log [Kc]

432590 J/mol = -2.303 x 8.314 x 2100 x log[kc]

Kc = 1.7 x 10-11
