The formula to calculate the Standard Free Energy (SFE) is:
\[ SFE = -R \times T \times \ln(K) \]
Where:
Standard Free Energy is a thermodynamic quantity that represents the amount of energy available to do work during a chemical reaction at standard conditions. It is calculated using the temperature, equilibrium constant, and the universal gas constant. A negative value of Standard Free Energy indicates a spontaneous reaction, while a positive value indicates a non-spontaneous reaction.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Standard Free Energy (SFE):
\[ SFE = -R \times T \times \ln(K) = -8.3145 \times 298 \times \ln(10) = -8.3145 \times 298 \times 2.3026 = -5707.45 \text{ Joules} \]
The Standard Free Energy (SFE) is -5707.45 Joules.
