Answer

(b) 1.53 kJ/mol

Work Step by Step

We find: $Q=\frac{[C]}{[A][B]}=\frac{0.405}{(0.315)(0.315)}=4.08$ $T=(25+273)K=298\,K$ $R=8.314\,Jmol^{-1}K^{-1}$ $\Delta G^{\circ}=-1.95\,kJ/mol$ $\Delta G=\Delta G^{\circ}+RT\ln Q$ $=-1.95\,kJ/mol+(8.314\,Jmol^{-1}K^{-1})(298\,K)(\ln 4.08)$ $=-1.95\,kJ/mol+3480\,J/mol=-1.95\,kJ/mol+3.48\,kJ/mol$ $=1.53\,kJ/mol$
