Standard entropies of X2,Y2 and XY3 are 60,40 and 50 J/K/mol respectively. At what temperature the following reaction will be at equilibrium
  1. 500K
  2. 750K
  3. 1000K
  4. 1250K

Solution

So from this question we know that enthalpy for the reaction is -30 KJ

12X2 + 32Y2  XY3           H = -30 KJ

So we know from the concept of standard entropies is 

S = SP - SRS = SXY3 -32 SY2-12SX2S = 50 - 32×40-12×60S = -40 JK-1mol-1

So according to the second law of thermodynamics

G = H-TS

For equilibrium the free Gibb's energy is G = 0

H = TST = HST = -30×103J-40JK-1

So the value of temperature is 

T = 750 K
