**Topic: Water-Gas Shift Reaction**

The water-gas shift reaction is crucial in producing clean fuel from coal. The reaction can be represented as:

\[ \text{CO(g) + H}_2\text{O(g) } \rightleftharpoons \text{ CO}_2\text{(g) + H}_2\text{(g)} \]

To determine the equilibrium constant \( K_p \) at 700 K, use the following thermodynamic data:

| Substance | \( \Delta H^\circ \) (kJ/mol) | \( S^\circ \) (J/mol·K) |
|-----------|---------------------|-------------------|
| CO(g)     | -110.5              | 197.7             |
| \( \text{H}_2\text{O(g)} \)    | -241.8             | 188.8             |
| \( \text{CO}_2\text{(g)} \)    | -393.5             | 213.7             |
| \( \text{H}_2\text{(g)} \)     | 0                  | 130.7             |

**Instructions:**

Utilize the provided thermodynamic values to calculate \( K_p \) using the relation between Gibbs free energy and the equilibrium constant. Apply the formula for calculating \( \Delta G^\circ \) for the reaction and then relate it to \( K_p \) using:

\[ \Delta G^\circ = \Delta H^\circ - T\Delta S^\circ \]

\[ \Delta G^\circ = -RT \ln K_p \]

where:

- \( R \) is the universal gas constant.
- \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin.

Calculate both \( \Delta H^\circ \) and \( \Delta S^\circ \) for the reaction using the standard enthalpies and entropies provided, then proceed to find \( \Delta G^\circ \) and subsequently \( K_p \) at 700 K.
