Question

Consider the decomposition reaction shown below.

NO2(g) ⇄ NO(g) + ½ O2(g)

Temperature is 25 °C. ΔG°rxn is +34.85 kJ/mol.

What will be the equilibrium partial pressure of NO(g) if 2.540 atm of NO2(g) and 0.870 atm of O2(g)
were initially present in the vessel? Show a complete ICE table. Indicate any assumptions that you 
made in your calculations.
