  • Option 1)

    −112.4 kJ mol −1

  • Option 2)

    −56.2 kJ mol −1

  • Option 3)

As we have learnt,

 

ΔG{reaction} -

\Delta G _{reaction }= \sum \Delta G_{product}- \sum \Delta G_{reactant}
 

- wherein

\sum \Delta G_{product}=Sum of   \Delta G of all product

\sum \Delta G_{reactant}=Sum of   \Delta G of all reactant

 

 \Delta G_{Reaction} = \Delta G_{1} + 3\times \Delta G_{2} \\*\Rightarrow \Delta G_{Reaction} = 1487 + (3\times -514.4) = -56.2\;kJ\:mol^{-1}

 


Option 1)

−112.4 kJ mol −1

Option 2)

−56.2 kJ mol −1

Option 3)

−168.2 kJ mol −1

Option 4)

−208.0 kJ mol −1
