An example of a reaction that experiences a big decrease in entropy, ΔS < 0, yet is spontaneous because of the release of a large quantity of heat, ΔH = -598 kJ, is the formation of benzene from acetylene 3C2H2(g) → C6H6(g) The change in free energy under standard condition is: ΔG∘ = -500 kJ/mol. Calculate the equilibrium constant, K, for the reaction at T = 298 K. 2×10^16 6×10^-3 78×10^-65 4×10^87
