Mkae the RICE table to see the final answer.
Since the question says equal numbers of moles of HCl and O2  are taken initially, we can simply assume their initial concentrations are equal.

Let the initial concentration of each reactant be 1.
                        R  4HCl(g) +  O2�(g)⇌ 2Cl2�(g)  +  2H2�O(g)
                                       I     1          1       0           0
                                       C     -4x         -x      +2x        +2x
                                       E      1-4x        1-x     2x        2x
From this its clear that II and III are correct.However I can not be predicted as it depends on the value of x.
So this is not something that must always be true.

In this question, we are discussing ΔGand not ΔGbecause the gases are mixed under non-standard conditions. Therefore, we must compare Qp with Kp. Since Q p>K p, the reaction mixture has excess products compared with equilibrium, so the reaction shifts toward the reactants. Hence, the forward reaction is non-spontaneous at that instant, and ΔG>0.

HCl + NaOH →  NaCl+ H2O

Step 1: Calculate mmoles of each reactant

mmol of HCl=M×mL=0.25×10.0=2.50 mmol
mmol of NaOH=M×mL=1.5×5.00=7.50 mmol

Step 2: Identify the limiting and excess reactant
Since the reaction is 1 : 1:

HCl = 2.50 mmol
NaOH = 7.50 mmol

So, HCl is the limiting reactant and NaOH is the excess reactant.
Step 3: Use an initial–final table in mmoles
             HCl + NaOH →  NaCl+ H2O
 Initial    2.50   7.50     0      0
  Final     0      5.00     2.50   2.50
After the reaction, 5.00 mmol of NaOH is left in excess.

That means the solution is basic, so  calculate [OH⁻].

Step 4: Calculate the concentration of excess OH⁻

Total volume after mixing: 10.0 mL+5.00 mL=15.0 mL
[OH −]=  15.0 mL /5.00 mmol

           =0.333 M

Step 5: Find pOH and pH

pOH=−log(0.333)=0.48
pH=14.00−0.48=13.52

Quote from: Chandrasekhar on April 17, 2026, 02:34:09 PMthe question asks

which activation pathway shows the graph with the highest activation energy and that is endothermic

i think i got why A isn't the answer, its because that is exothermic right?
Perfecto!

Hi Mam,

I was wondering how you would approach this problem?Screenshot 2026-04-17 180144.png

∆Grxn 0 = ∑[∆Gf(S) 0 + ∆Gf(O2) 0  ]  - 2∆GSO3 0 =  [2*0 +0] –[2*-370.4]


Now ΔGf0of any element in its stable form is zero.
For S and O2 it is zero and plug in the value of SO3 to get the answer.
