1. Keq= ([X][Y]) / ([A][B]) = 0.322/0.682= 0.

221
2. [0.68] = A555 / 2.25 mM-1 cm-1 × l A555=0.32 x 2.25 = 0.72
3. ΔG°' = -RT ln Keq = -(8.314 J mol -1 K-1) (298K) ln (0.2214532872)= 3735.05
ΔG°' = -RT ln Keq = -(8.314 J mol -1 K-1) (298K) ln([A][B]) / ([X][Y]) = -3735.05
4. Increase with time because the A555 is directly related to the concentration of X which
will increase over time since the concentration of B is above its equilibrium
concentration, therefore, it will form X and Y as it goes back to its equilibrium
concentration.

ΔG = ΔG°' + RT ln Q = (3735.05) +(8.314) (298) ln([X][Y]) / ([A][B]) = -11.187.8+(8.314) (298)

([0.32] [0.32]) / ([0.68] [1.5]) = -1960.1
