8. Disequilibrium: The mixing ratio of NO in the atmosphere is about 10 ppb for clean air, and about 200 ppb (0.2 ppm) for polluted air. Predict the amount of NO present in the atmosphere according to "equilibrium" chemistry. The relevant reaction is: N₂ + O₂ -> 2 NO Kp = (PNO)2/(PN2 P02) Note: AGf for NO is 86.7 kJ/mol (but the value for the reaction above is different by x2). Is the atmosphere at equilibrium? What might be maintaining this state of "disequilbirum"?
