Will the following reaction occur spontaneously at 25Solutio
Will the following reaction occur spontaneously at 25
Solution
/_\\ G = -RT ln K
Where R is the gas constant 8.3145 J / mol K, T is temperature in kelvins (temperature in celsius + 273), and K is the equilibrium constant.
Calculate the equilibrium constant by dividing the activities (i.e. concentrations) of the products over the reactants, or
[Cd2+]/[Fe2+]
or
0.0110/0.56
/_\\ G = -nF/_\\E
/_\\G = (-8.3145 J / mol K) (298K) ln (0.0110/0.56)
/_\\G = +9737.5 J/mol
