Concept.

Solubility: The maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the solvent at equilibrium is defined as solubility.

Constant of soluble product: For equilibrium between solids and their respective ions in a solution, the solubility product constant is defined. In general, the term "solubility product" refers to water-equilibrium insoluble or slightly soluble ionic substances.

Reaction-A

Considering the given Chemical reaction:

BaO(s)+CO2(g)BaCO3(s)

The enthalpy change is negative. Hence, the enthalpy ΔHrxnovalue is -1202.4kJ

Entropy change ΔSsystemo

The standard equation for entropy change is:

ΔSrxno=mSProductso-nSreactantso

Where, (m) and (n) are the stoichiometric co-efficient.

ΔSrxno=(1molMgO)SoofMgg-(2molMg)SoofMg+1molO2SoofO2ΔSrxno=[(1molMgO)(26.9J/mol×K)]-2molN2(32.69J/mol×K)+1mol2(205.0J/mol×K)

Therefore, the ΔSrxn0of the reaction is -216.58J/K

Calculate the change in free energy ΔGrxnonext.

Standard Free energy change equation is,

ΔGrxno=ΔHrxno-TΔSrxno

Free energy changeΔGfo

The enthalpy and entropy values calculated are

ΔHrxno=-1202.4kJΔSrxno=-216.58J/K

ΔSrxno=2molCO2SoofCO2+4molH2OSoofH2O-2molCH3OHSoofCH3OH+3molO2SoofO2ΔSrxno=2molCO2(213.7J/mol×K)+4molHH2O(188.72J/mol×K)2molCH3OH(238J/mol×K)+3molO2(205.0J/mol×K)ΔSrxno=-91.28J/K

Therefore, the ΔSrxn0of the reaction is -91.28J/K

Next calculate the Free energy change ΔGrxno

standard Free energy change equation is,

ΔGrxno=ΔHrxno-TΔSrxno

Free energy change ΔGfo

The values of calculated enthalpy and entropy are,

ΔHrxno=-1351.904kJΔSrxno=-91.28J/K

Entropy change ΔSsystemo

Standard entropy change equation is,

ΔGrxno=ΔHrxno-TΔSrxno

Free energy change ΔGfo

Calculated enthalpy and entropy values are
