Go
ln K P = RT
Go is the standard free energy change of the reaction. It
is a function of the reactants and temperature only. It is
not this quantity which is zero at equilibrium, but G, the
actual free energy change
Class Problem 7
a) The gas-phase reaction;
A = B+C
has an equilibrium constant of 2.72 atm at 300 K.
Calculate Go for this reaction at this temperature.

(Vant Hoff eqn)
Class Problem 9
1) Use the vant Hoff equation to demonstrate that, for an
endothermic reaction, equilibrium shifts to the right for
an increase in temperature (Le Chatelier's Principle).
2) Use the vant Hoff equation to show how, if the
equilibrium constant, K1 is known at T1, the equilibrium
constant, K2 at a new temperature, T2 can be deduced.

Worked Example
Ethanol decomposes in the vapour phase over a suitable
catalyst:
C2H5OH = C2H4 + H2O
a) Calculate the equilibrium constant, KP at low pressure
(ideal gas) and 650 K.
b) What is the equilibrium conversion of pure ethanol feed
at 2 atm and 650 K?
c) Repeat the above calculations for 200 atm and 650 K.

NOTE that the Lewis and Randall Rule is not likely to
be very accurate for this highly polar system, but
there is no simple alternative that is any better.
