Problem

Consider the gas-phase reaction Cl2(g)+Br2(g)→2 BrCl(g)\text{Cl}_2(g)+\text{Br}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\,\text{BrCl}(g) For this process, ΔG∘=+23.7 kJ mol−1\Delta G^{\circ}=+23.7\,\text{kJ\,mol}^{-1} at 575\,K. (a) Compute log⁡10K\log_{10}K for the reaction at 575\,K. (b) Using your result from part (a), state whether reactants or products predominate at equilibrium and support your answer quantitatively.
