Question

Hydrolysis of sucrose is given by the following reaction. Sucrose+H2O⇌Glucose+Fructose If the equilibrium constant (Kc ) is 2×1013 at 300 K, the value of ∆rGs at the same temperature will be

Answer 1

The relation between Gibbs energy and equilibrium constant is given by,

ΔG0=−RT lnKc

   = −8.314×300×ln(2×1013)
