### Calculating \( \Delta G^\circ \) from Equilibrium Constants

To determine the standard Gibbs free energy change (\( \Delta G^\circ \)) for a reaction, we can use the equilibrium constant (\( K_p \)) at a given temperature. The table below provides the necessary data to perform these calculations for several reactions:

| Reaction                                     | Temperature (°C) | \( K_p \) value   |
|----------------------------------------------|------------------|------------------|
| \( \text{N}_2 (g) + \text{O}_2 (g) \rightarrow 2\text{NO} (g) \)   | 2000 | \( 4.1 \times 10^{-4} \) |
| \( \text{H}_2 (g) + \text{I}_2 (g) \rightarrow 2\text{HI} (g) \)    | 400  | 50.0            |
| \( \text{CO}_2 (g) + \text{H}_2 (g) \rightarrow \text{CO} (g) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (g) \) | 980  | 1.67            |
| \( \text{CaCO}_3 (s) \rightarrow \text{CaO} (s) + \text{CO}_2 (g) \)        | 900  | 1.04            |

### Explanation of Data

- **Reaction**: The balanced chemical equation for each reaction.
- **Temperature (°C)**: The temperature at which the equilibrium constant \( K_p \) is measured.
- **\( K_p \) value**: The equilibrium constant for the reaction at the given temperature.

### Calculation of \( \Delta G^\circ \)

The relationship between \( \Delta G^\circ \) and \( K_p \) is given by the equation:
\[ \Delta G^\circ = -RT \ln (K_p) \]
where:
- \( R \) is the universal gas constant (8.314 J/(mol·K)).
- \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin (K).

#### Steps to Calculate \( \Delta G^\circ \):

1. **Convert Temperature to Kelvin**: 
\[ T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15 \]

2. **Calculate \( \Delta
