Question

Calculate a) ΔG°and b) the equilibrium constant for the formation of NO2 from NO and O2 at 298 K

where ΔfG° (NO2) = 52.0 kJ/mol

ΔfG° (NO) = 87.0 kJ/mol

ΔfG° (O2) = 0 kJ/mol

Solution

(a) For the given reaction,

ΔG° = ΔG°( Products) – ΔG°( Reactants)

ΔG° = 52.0 – {87.0 + 0}

= – 35.0 kJ mol–1

(b) We know that,

ΔG° = RT log Kc

ΔG° = 2.303 RT log Kc

Hence, the equilibrium constant for the given reaction Kc is 1.36 × 106
