The equilibrium constant for the reaction 2 Fe3aq Hg22aq 2
The equilibrium constant for the reaction,
2 Fe3+(aq) + Hg22+(aq) <=> 2 Fe2+(aq) + 2 Hg2+(aq)
 is 9.1 x 10-6(aq) at 298 K. Calculate ?G in kJ when
[Fe3+(aq)] = 0.783
 [Hg22+(aq)] = 0.0128
 [Fe2+(aq)] = 0.0497
 [Hg2+(aq)] = 0.0827
Solution
Q = [Fe2+]^2*[Hg2+]^2/[Fe3+]^2*[Hg22+]
= 2.1527 * 10^-3
Delta G = -RTln(K/Q) =13.543 KJ
