For the reaction:

2A(g) + B(g) → 2D(g)

At 298 K:

ΔU° = −10 kJ mol⁻¹
ΔS° = −44 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

Given R = 8.31 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹,
find ΔG° for the reaction and determine whether the reaction is spontaneous at 298 K.

Hydrolysis of sucrose is given by the following reaction

Sucrose + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ Glucose + Fructose

If the equilibrium constant (K_c) is 2$\times$10¹³ at 300 K, the value of ${∆}_r{G}^{⊝}$ at the same temperature will be:

1. 8.314 J mol^–1 K^–1$\times$300 K$\times$ln (2$\times$10¹³)

2. 8.314 J mol^–1 K^–1$\times$300 K$\times$ln (3$\times$10¹³)

3. –8.314 J mol^–1 K^–1$\times$300 K$\times$ln (4$\times$10¹³)

4. –8.314 J mol^–1 K^–1$\times$300 K$\times$ln (2$\times$10¹³)
