CALCULATING FROM K_{sp}
At 25 °C, for PbCrO_{4} is 2.8 × 10^{-13}. Calculate the standard free-energy change at 25 °C for the reaction PnCrO_{4}(s) \rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}(aq) + CrO_{4}^{2-}(aq)

We can calculate ΔG° directly from the equilibrium constant K_{sp}:
ΔG° = -RT ln K_{sp} = -[8.314 J/(K · mol)](298 K)(ln 2.8 × 10^{-13})
= 71.6 × 10³ J/mol = 71.6 kJ/mol
BALLPARK CHECK
The K_{sp} value is much less than 1, so ΔG° should be a large positive number, in agreement with the solution
