Answer:
Option B. 30 KJ.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Temperature (T) = 5000 K
Enthalpy change (ΔH) = – 220 kJ/mol
Change in entropy (ΔS) = – 0.05 KJ/mol•K
Gibbs free energy (ΔG) =...?
The Gibbs free energy, ΔG can be obtained by using the following equation as illustrated below:
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
ΔG = – 220 – (5000 x – 0.05)
ΔG = – 220 – (– 250)
ΔG = – 220 + 250
ΔG = 30 KJ
Therefore, the Gibbs free energy, ΔG is 30 KJ.
