Estimate δg°rxn for the following reaction at 387 k. hcn (g) + 2 h2 (g) → ch3nh2 (g) δh° = −158.0 kj; δs° = −219.9

ΔG°rxn = -72.9 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

HCN(g) + 2 H₂(g) → CH₃NH₂(g)

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

ΔG°rxn = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

where,

ΔH° is the standard enthalpy of the reaction

T is the absolute temperature

ΔS° is the standard entropy of the reaction

ΔG°rxn = -158.0 KJ - 387 K × (-219.9 × 10⁻³ J/K)

ΔG°rxn = -72.9 kJ

the correct option is c.

isotopes refers to different forms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass number as a result of difference in their neutron numbers. isotopes have different relative atomic mass but share the same chemical properties.
