    The equilibrium constant at 2000 K is 0.7139

    The equilibrium constant at 3000 K is 8.306

    ΔH = 122.2 kJ/mol

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    the standard molar Gibbs energy of formation of X (g) is 5.61 kJ/mol at 2000 K

    the standard molar Gibbs energy of formation of X (g) is - 52.80 kJ/mol at 3000 K

    Step 2: The equation

    1/2X2 (g) ⟶X (g)

    Step 3: Determine K at 2000 K

    ΔG = - RT ln K

    ⇒R = 8.314 J/mol * K

    ⇒T = 2000 K

    ⇒K is the equilibrium constant

    5610 J/mol = - 8.314 J/molK * 2000 * ln K

    ln K = - 0.337

    K = e^-0.337

    K = 0.7139

    The equilibrium constant at 2000 K is 0.7139

    Step 4: Determine K at 3000 K

    ΔG = - RT ln K

    ⇒R = 8.314 J/mol * K

    ⇒T = 3000 K

    ⇒K is the equilibrium constant

    -52800 J/mol = - 8.314 J/molK * 3000 * ln K

    ln K = 2.117

    K = e^2.117

    K = 8.306

    The equilibrium constant at 3000 K is 8.306

    Step 5: Determine the value of ΔH∘rxn

    ln K2/K1 = - ΔH/r * (1/T2 - 1/T1)

    ln 8.306 / 0.713 = - ΔH/8.314 * (1/3000 - 1/2000)

    2.455 = - ΔH/8.314 * (3.33*10^-4 - 0.0005)

    2.455 = - ΔH/8.314 * (-1.67*10^-4)

    -14700 = - ΔH/8.314

    -ΔH = - 122200 J/mol

    ΔH = 122.2 kJ/mol
