Reaction at 25.0o

CO(g) + NO(g) CO2(g) + N2(g) 

starts with the following initial partial pressures: 

(PCO2)0 = 0.50 atm, (PN2)0= 0.60 atm, (PCO)0= 5.0×10–35 atm, and (PNO)0 = 5.×10-36 atm.

 

Substance 

∆Gof, kJ mol

CO2(g) 

– 394.4

N2(g) 

0

CO(g) 

– 137.3

NO(g) 

+ 86.7

 

Use the attached standard Gibbs free energies of formation to calculate: (a) KP for the reaction, (b) the immediate Gibbs free energy change for the reaction,  ∆Grxn, and (c) check the correct box predicting the direction in which reaction proceeds. Enter your answers with correct units and significant figures, and check the correct box below:

Reaction proceeds spontaneously forward towards equilibrium.

Reaction is at equilibrium.

Reaction proceeds spontaneously backward towards equilibrium.
