Answer

46.2

Work Step by Step

$\Delta_{r}G^{\circ}=\Sigma n_{p}\Delta_{f}G^{\circ}(products)-\Sigma n_{r}\Delta _{f}G^{\circ}(reactants)$ $=[2\Delta_{f}G^{\circ}(HI,g)]-[\Delta_{f}G^{\circ}(H_{2},g)+\Delta_{f}G^{\circ}(I_{2},g)]$ $=[2(1.70\,kJ/mol)]-[(0)+(19.327\,kJ/mol)]$ $=-15.93\,kJ/mol$ $\Delta _{r}G^{\circ}=-RT\ln K^{\circ}$ $\implies K^{\circ}=e^{-\frac{\Delta _{r}G^{\circ}}{RT}}=e^{-\frac{-15.93\times10^{3}\,J/mol}{(8.314\,Jmol^{-1}K^{-1})(500.\,K)}}$ $=46.2$
