Computation for Enthalpy and Entropy of reaction
The change in enthalpy for the reaction has been given by:
[tex]\Delta H_{rxn}=\Delta H_{Product}-\Delta H_{reactant}\\
\Delta H_{rxn}=(-1271\;+\;6(0))-(6(393.5)\;+\;6(285.8)\\
\Delta H_{rxn}=2804.8\;\rm kJ/mol[/tex]
The change in enthalpy for the reaction has been 2804.8 kJ/mol.
The change in entropy for the reaction has been given by:
[tex]\Delta S_{rxn}=\Delta S_{Product}-\Delta S_{reactant}\\\Delta H_{rxn}=(209.21\;+\;6(205.2))-(6(213.8)\;+\;6(70)\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-262.4\;\rm kJ/mol[/tex]
The change in entropy for the reaction has been -262.4 kJ/mol.
The Gibbs free energy for the reaction has been given by:
[tex]\Delta G_{rxn}=\Delta H_{rxn}-\text{Temperature}\;\times\;\Delta S_{rxn}\\
\Delta G_{rxn}=2804.8\;-\;288.15\;\text K\;\times\;-262.4\;\text{kJ/mol}\\
\Delta G_{rxn}=2880.41\;\text{kJ/mol}[/tex]
The change in Gibbs free energy for the reaction has been 2880.41 kJ/mol.
