If the change in free energy of a system is −899Jmol⁻¹ and the entropy change is 10Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ at 25°C, calculate the enthalpy change.

  • A. +649 Jmol⁻¹
  • B. +2081 Jmol⁻¹Correct
  • C. −2081 Jmol⁻¹
  • D. −649 Jmol⁻¹

Explanation

ΔG=ΔH−TΔS. −899=ΔH−(298×10). −899=ΔH−2980. ΔH=−899+2980=+2081Jmol⁻¹.
