21N.2.hl.TZ0.c(iii)

White phosphorus is an allotrope of phosphorus and exists as P4.

An equilibrium exists between PCl3 and PCl5.

PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g) PCl5 (g)

Calculate the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG), in kJ mol−1, for this reaction at 25 °C. Use section 1 of the data booklet.

If you did not obtain an answer in c(i) or c(ii) use −87.6 kJ mol−1 and −150.5 J mol−1 K−1 respectively, but these are not the correct answers.

Award [2] for correct final answer.

If –87.6 and -150.5 are used then –42.8.
