If the reaction of chloroethane with water in the gas phase


If the reaction of chloroethane with water in the gas phase to produce ethanol as well as hydrogen chloride has a ΔH=26.6 kJ mol-1 and ΔS=4.81 J K-1 mol-1at 25C. Be careful with the units

Compute ΔG for the reaction as well as equilibrium constant for the reaction.

In the aqueous solution the equilibrium constant is very much larger than the one just calculated. How can you account for this fact?
