Examine the given reaction. NH4NO3(s) → NH4+(aq) + NO3–(aq) ΔH° = 25.45 kJ/mol ΔS° = 108.7 J/mol·K Which of the given is correct about the ΔG° at 25 °C? A)+4,360 J
B)−6,942 J
C)−4,360 J
D)+6,942 J

B)−6,942 J /mol

Explanation:

At constant temperature and pressure, you cand define the change in Gibbs free energy, ΔG, as:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Where ΔH is enthalpy, T absolute temperature and ΔS change in entropy.

Replacing (25°C = 273 + 25 = 298K; 25.45kJ/mol = 25450J/mol):

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

ΔG = 25450J/mol - 298K×108.7J/molK

ΔG = -6942.6J/mol

Right solution is:
