Consider the reaction $$\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{Br}_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{HBr}(g)$$ where $\Delta H^{\circ}=-103.8 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} .$ In a particular experiment, equal moles of $\mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})$ at $1.00 \mathrm{~atm}$ and $\mathrm{Br}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})$ at $1.00 \mathrm{~atm}$ were mixed in a $1.00$ -L flask at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and allowed to reach equilibrium. Then the molecules of $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ at equilibrium were counted using a very sensitive technique, and $1.10 \times 10^{13}$ molecules were found. For this reaction, calculate the values of $K, \Delta G^{\circ}$, and $\Delta S^{\circ}$.

Key Concepts

Chemical Equilibrium

Chemical equilibrium refers to the state in a reversible reaction where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction, resulting in constant concentrations of all species. This concept forms the basis for understanding how reactants and products distribute themselves when no net change in concentration occurs over time.

Equilibrium Constant (K)

The equilibrium constant, represented as K, quantifies the ratio of the concentrations (or partial pressures) of products to reactants at equilibrium, each raised to the power of its coefficient from the balanced chemical equation. The value of K provides insight into the position of equilibrium, indicating whether products or reactants are favored under specific conditions.

Law of Mass Action

The Law of Mass Action states that, at equilibrium, the concentrations of the reactants and products are related to each other by an equation whose form is determined by the stoichiometry of the balanced reaction. This principle is crucial for writing the equilibrium constant expression and calculating equilibrium concentrations.

Gibbs Free Energy (?G°)

Gibbs free energy, denoted as ?G°, is a thermodynamic quantity that indicates the spontaneity of a reaction under standard conditions. A negative ?G° suggests a spontaneous process, and its relationship with the equilibrium constant is given by the equation ?G° = -RT ln K, linking thermodynamics with equilibrium.

Enthalpy (?H°) and Entropy (?S°)

Enthalpy (?H°) is the heat change at constant pressure during a reaction, while entropy (?S°) is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. Their interplay, described by the relationship ?G° = ?H° - T?S°, determines the spontaneity of a reaction and provides insights into the energy and disorder contributions during the process.

Reaction Stoichiometry

Reaction stoichiometry involves using the balanced chemical equation to understand the quantitative relationships between reactants and products. It is essential for determining how changes in the concentration of one species affect the others and for converting measured quantities in experimental setups into meaningful chemical information.

Conversion Between Molecular Count and Moles

Converting the number of molecules to moles is an important concept in chemistry that utilizes Avogadro's number, which defines the number of constituent particles in one mole. This conversion is crucial when measured microscopic quantities need to be expressed in macroscopic units for equilibrium and thermodynamic calculations.
