4NH3(g) 5O2(g)4NO(g) 6H2O(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the free energy change when 1.81 moles of NH3(g) react at standard conditions.

-434.14 kJ

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

4 NH₃(g) + 5 O₂(g) ⇒ 4 NO(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

Step 2: Calculate the standard free energy change (ΔG°r) for the reaction

We will use the following expression.

ΔG°r = 4 mol × ΔG°f(NO(g)) + 6 mol × ΔG°f(H₂O(g)) - 4 mol × ΔG°f(NH₃(g)) - 5 mol × ΔG°f(O₂(g))

ΔG°r = 4 mol × (86.55 kJ/mol) + 6 mol × (-228.57 kJ/mol) - 4 mol × (-16.45 kJ/mol) - 5 mol × (0 kJ/mol)

ΔG°r = -959.42 kJ

Step 3: Calculate the standard free energy change for 1.81 moles of NH₃

959.42 kJ are released per 4 moles of NH₃.
