NEET Chemistry Chemical Equilibrium MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

Calculate the change in Gibbs free energy (∆G ) for the formation of NO2 from NO and O2 at 298K using the given standard Gibbs free energy of formation values: ∆fG (NO2) = 52.0 kJ/mol, ∆fG (NO) = 87.0 kJ/mol, ∆fG (O2) = 0 kJ/mol.

A

-35.0 kJ/mol

B

-87.0 kJ/mol

C

35.0 kJ/mol

D

87.0 kJ/mol

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The change in Gibbs free energy (∆G ) is calculated using the formula: ∆G  = ∆fG (products) - ∆fG (reactants). Substituting the given values: ∆G  = 52.0 - (87.0 + 0) = -35.0 kJ/mol.
