The standard free energy of formation of nitric oxide, NO, at 800. K (roughly the temperature in an automobile engine during ignition) is 72.0 kJ/mol. Δf H (N2) and Δf H (O2) =0.
Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction: N2(g) + O2(g) => 2NO(g) at 800. K. (R = 8.31 J/(K · mol)) 2NO(g)
a. 7.0 x 10^–10
b. 7.0 x 10^–9
c. 4 x 10^-10
d. 4 x 10^5
e. 6.8 x 10^–6
Standard free energy formation of NO =
=
For 2 moles standard free energy of formation of NO = 144*103 J
Relation between standard free energy and equilibrium constant
, where R= 8.314 J/K.mol and T = 800 K
K = 4*10-10
So answer is (c)
