JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 11th January Evening Slot - No. 9)

For the equilibrium,
2H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ H3O+ + OH$$-$$, the value of $$\Delta $$Go at 298 K is approximately :
$$-$$ 80 kJ mol–1
100 kJ mol$$-$$1
$$-$$ 100 kJ mol$$-$$1
80 kJ mol–1

Explanation

2H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ H3O+ + OH$$-$$

Here Keq = Kw(H2O)

At 298 K, Kw(H2O) = 10-14

$$ \therefore $$ Keq = 10-14

$$\Delta $$Go = -RTln(Keq)

= -RTln(Kw)

= -2.303RT log (10-14)

= -2.303 $$ \times $$ 8.314 $$ \times $$ 298 $$ \times $$ $$ \times $$ (-14)

= 80 kJ/mol
