Given information

The energy available for doing a useful work is known as Gibbs free energy. The free energy change of a reaction under nonstandard conditions is expressed by the relation,

 

 

At equilibrium, the value of  is always equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the value of . Therefore, the change in Gibbs free energy is equal to zero.

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The reaction occurring at   is,

 

 

The standard change in free energy () is calculated by the formula,

 

             

 

Where,

  •   is the standard free energy change for  .

  •   is the standard free energy change for  .
