JEE AdvancedChemistryChemical EquilibriumNumerical+4 / −1
Consider the reaction, A ⇌\rightleftharpoons⇌ B at 1000 K. At time t', the temperature of the system was increased to 2000 K and the system was allowed to reach equilibrium. Throughout this experiment the partial pressure of A was maintained at 1 bar. Given, below is the plot of the partial pressure of B with time. What is the ratio of the standard Gibbs energy of the reaction at 1000 K to that at 2000 K? JEE Advanced 2020 Paper 1 Offline Chemistry - Chemical Equilibrium Question 4 English

Correct answer: 0.25

  1. For the reaction A⇌BA \rightleftharpoons BA⇌B with standard-state convention in pressure units, Kp=pBpAK_p = \frac{p_B}{p_A}Kp​=pA​pB​​ because stoichiometric coefficients are 1:1.

  2. Given: throughout the experiment, pA=1 barp_A = 1\ \text{bar}pA​=1 bar Hence at equilibrium, Kp=pBK_p = p_BKp​=pB​ numerically (when pressure is read in bar relative to standard state 1 bar).

  3. From the graph of partial pressure of BBB vs time:

    • before heating, at 1000 K1000\,\text{K}1000K, the equilibrium partial pressure of BBB is 2 bar,
    • after heating to 2000 K2000\,\text{K}2000K and re-establishing equilibrium, the equilibrium partial pressure of BBB is 4 bar.

    Therefore, Kp,1000=2,Kp,2000=4K_{p,1000} = 2, \qquad K_{p,2000} = 4Kp,1000​=2,Kp,2000​=4

  4. Use the relation between standard Gibbs energy and equilibrium constant ΔG∘=−RTln⁡K\Delta G^\circ = -RT\ln KΔG∘=−RTlnK

    So, ΔG1000∘=−(1000)Rln⁡2\Delta G^\circ_{1000} = -(1000)R\ln 2ΔG1000∘​=−(1000)Rln2 ΔG2000∘=−(2000)Rln⁡4\Delta G^\circ_{2000} = -(2000)R\ln 4ΔG2000∘​=−(2000)Rln4

  5. Now compute the ratio: ΔG1000∘ΔG2000∘=−1000Rln⁡2−2000Rln⁡4\frac{\Delta G^\circ_{1000}}{\Delta G^\circ_{2000}} = \frac{-1000R\ln 2}{-2000R\ln 4}ΔG2000∘​ΔG1000∘​​=−2000Rln4−1000Rln2​

    Since ln⁡4=2ln⁡2\ln 4 = 2\ln 2ln4=2ln2 we get ΔG1000∘ΔG2000∘=1000ln⁡22000⋅2ln⁡2=14\frac{\Delta G^\circ_{1000}}{\Delta G^\circ_{2000}} = \frac{1000\ln 2}{2000\cdot 2\ln 2} = \frac{1}{4}ΔG2000∘​ΔG1000∘​​=2000⋅2ln21000ln2​=41​

  6. Hence, ΔG1000∘ΔG2000∘=0.25\boxed{\frac{\Delta G^\circ_{1000}}{\Delta G^\circ_{2000}} = 0.25}ΔG2000∘​ΔG1000∘​​=0.25​
