Using the data provided, find the value of equilibrium constant for the following reaction at 298 K and 1 atm pressure. NO(g)+12O2( g)NO2( g)
ΔfH0NO(g)=90.4kJ.mol1

ΔfH0NO2(g)=32.48kJmol1

ΔS@298K=70.8JK1mol1

antilog(0.50)=3162

  1. 3.162×104
  2. 3.162×10-4
  3. 3.162×106
  4. 3.162×107

Solution

The given reaction is

NO(g)+12O2( g)NO2( g)

The enthalpy of the above reaction given by the difference of enthalpies of reactant side and product side.

Therefore,

cH = fHNO2-fHNO+12fHO2cH = 32.8-90.4+120cH = -57.6 KJmol-1

Also, we know that Gibb's free energy can be determined by

G = H-TSG = 57600 Jmol-1-298×-70.8 JK-1mol-1G  =- 36501.5  Jmol-1

Again, Using relation of Gibb's free energy with equilibrium constant i.e.

G  = -2.303×8.31×298 logk =-36501.5 Jmol-1K= 3.162 ×106
