Question

Calcutale Grxn for the following equation at 25°C:

4KClO3(s) → 3KClO4(s) KCl(s)

Answer 1

-133.2 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

4 KClO₃(s) → 3 KClO₄(s) + KCl(s)

We can calculate the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction (ΔG°rxn) using the following expression.

ΔG°rxn = 3 mol × ΔG°f(KClO₄(s)) + 1 mol × ΔG°f(KCl(s)) - 4 mol × ΔG°f(KClO₃(s))

ΔG°rxn = 3 mol × (-303.1 kJ/mol) + 1 mol × (-409.1 kJ/mol) - 4 mol × (-296.3 kJ/mol)

ΔG°rxn = -133.2 kJ
