NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

Calculate the change in Gibbs free energy (∆G) for a reaction at 300 K with an equilibrium constant of 10. Use the relation ∆G = -RT ln K.

A

-5.7 kJ mol⁻¹

B

-8.3 kJ mol⁻¹

C

-24.2 kJ mol⁻¹

D

-12.4 kJ mol⁻¹

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the relation ∆G = -RT ln K, where R = 8.314 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹, T = 300 K, and K = 10, the calculation gives ∆G = -8.314 * 300 * ln(10) J mol⁻¹ = -5.7 kJ mol⁻¹.
