question 51

Multiple Choice

Consider the reaction CO(g) + 2H₂(g) $\leftrightharpoons$ CH₃OH(l) at 25 ^$\circ$ C.
$\Delta$ G ^$\circ$ _f (CO) = -137.3 kJ/mol
$\Delta$ G ^$\circ$ _f (CH₃OH) = -166.3 kJ/mol
$\Delta$ H ^$\circ$ _f (CO) = -110.5 kJ/mol
$\Delta$ H ^$\circ$ _f (CH₃OH) = -238.7 kJ/mol
S ^$\circ$ (CO) = 197.9 J/K·mol
S ^$\circ$ (CH₃OH) = 126.8 J/K·mol
Calculate $\Delta$ G ^$\circ$ at 25 ^$\circ$ C.

• A) -29.0 kJ/mol
• B) -31.0 kJ/mol
• C) -33.0 kJ/mol
• D) -35.0 kJ/mol
• E) None of the above
