Free energy change of the reaction can be calculated as a sum of free energies of the products minus the sum of free energies of the reactants.
The value of ΔG varies with temperature change (there is reference data). In general, the temperature dependence of Gibbs free energy ΔG looks like
∆G
= А + В·Т,
T
where А and В are coefficients that are constant for any particular reaction.
These coefficients can be calculated by solving a system of equations:
∆G
= А + В·Т1

GТ2 = А + В·Т2.
The temperature at which ΔG = 0 is called the temperature limit of
thermodynamic feasibility (T
) of the reaction.

Using reference tables (Appendix 2) we find the values of Gibbs free energy for substances involved in the reaction.
Table 3.1 – Gibbs free energies for substances
∆G
(I) = 102.613 + 207.195 – 318.272 = – 8.464 kJ/mol;

∆G
(II) = 2·145.854 318.272 = 26.564 kJ/mol;

∆G
(III) = 66.705 + 228.271– 318.272 = – 23.296 kJ/mol.

Based on the calculation results, we can conclude that the second reaction has the greatest negative value of ΔG
, and therefore, the second
800
reaction is the most thermodynamically probable at this temperature compared to the reactions (I) and (II).

In case of equality of forward and reverse reaction rates the chemical equilibrium occurs. Since the chemical equilibrium in the reacting system is set, the concentrations and the partial pressures of the substances become constant or become unchanged.
Fractional conversion (conversion coefficient, conversion degree) of the substance in a chemical reaction is the ratio of the moles of the substance reacted to the initial number of the moles of the substance.
The theoretical degree of the reaction completeness corresponds to the establishment of equilibrium in the system, in other words, corresponds to the most possible degree of conversion, which can be easily determined based on the expression for the equilibrium constant of the process.
Therefore, for the processes occurring at constant pressure (P = const) and temperature (T = const) the expression for the equilibrium constant looks like:
аА + bВ … ↔ dD + еЕ ...
,
where Pi is the partial pressures of the substances participating in the
chemical reaction. Kp is called chemical equilibrium constant.
In this case, Dalton's law is valid:
Pi = Р

where Ni, the mole fraction, is equal to the ratio of moles of i-component to the sum of the moles of all components in the system.

The higher the value of the equilibrium constant is, the higher the
quantity of final products in reaction mixture is and vice versa.

From this equation, it can be concluded that a large negative value of –ΔG corresponds to a larger value of the equilibrium constant, and vice versa. If ΔG = 0, the equilibrium constant is equal to K = 1.

Chemical reaction rate and chemical mechanisms are studied by chemical kinetics.
The reaction rate depends on temperature. The temperature dependence of the reaction rate constant is described by the Arrhenius equation:
К = А∙е
-Е/RT
,
where A is the pre-exponential factor and E is the activation energy of the reaction.
Formally, the order of the reaction for the specific substance is a measure of the concentration degree of this substance in the kinetic equation (it is also called the special order of the reaction).
аА + bВ … ↔ dD + еЕ ...
where V is the reaction rate, nА is the reaction order for substance A; K is the reaction rate constant.
The reaction order is determined experimentally, generally by the reaction rate dependence on the concentration of the specific substance at constant concentrations of all other substances.
The activation energy of the reaction is the average excess energy E, which should the reacting particles acquire to overcome the potential barrier separating the initial and final state of the system.
Both non-catalytic and catalytic reaction rate are associated with the activation energy:

For a first order reaction, the rate constant of the reaction is determined by the equation:
,
where τ is the reaction time, seconds; a is the initial concentration of the substance; x is the decrease in the concentration of the substance from the beginning of the reaction up to this point of time (τ); (a – x) is the concentration of the substance at a given moment time.
Half-life time for a first order reaction can be expressed by the equation:
For a second order reaction rate, the constant of the reaction is determined by the equation:
In the case when the initial concentrations of substances are equal to each other а = b:
