The free energy change(Gibbs free energy-ΔG)=-8.698 kJ/mol
Further explanation
Given
Ratio of the concentrations of the products to the concentrations of the reactants is 22.3
Temperature = 37 C = 310 K
ΔG°=-16.7 kJ/mol
Required
the free energy change
Solution
Ratio of the concentration : equilbrium constant = K = 22.3
We can use Gibbs free energy :
ΔG = ΔG°+ RT ln K
R=8.314 .10⁻³ kJ/mol K
[tex]\tt \Delta G=-16.7~kJ/mol+8.314.10^{-3}\times 310\times ln~22.3\\\\\Delta G=-8.698~kJ/mol[/tex]
