Textbook problem 4J.3

Postby Evelyn-Marian Barber » Wed Feb 08, 2023 8:30 pm

Calculate the change in molar Gibbs free energy for the process
at 1 atm and (a) -15.0°C (b) -45.0°C (see Tables 4C.1 and 4F.1). In each case, indicate whether vaporization would be spontaneous.

I used this equation to find the molar Gibbs free energy: deltaG= deltaHvap - T(deltaSvap). Would this be the right equation to find these answers, or is there another equation we are supposed to use?

That is the right equation! Just make sure the temperature is in K.

That's the right equation, but adding on to what the previous post said, make sure that the units are all the same, since ΔS is usually given in J/mol*K while ΔH is usually given in kJ/mol.
