Question

When nitric acid is produced industrially, nitrogen monoxide, NO, is first formed at high temperature. Bakefetr reacts NO on cooling further with oxygen to nitrogen dioxide:

2 NO(g) + O2 ⇌ 2 NO2 (g)

 

Table 1: Thermodynamic data at 25°C.

 

Bond ΔfHom Som Cop,m
NO(g) 90.25 210.76 29.34
O2(g) 0.00 205.14 29.36
NO2(g) 33.18 240.06 37.20

 

1) Calculate (with all relevant intermediate calculations) the standard reaction Gibbs free energy, ΔrG25o, for reaction (1) at 25°C from the data in Table 1

 

2) Calculate (with all relevant intermediate calculations) the equilibrium constant K25, for reaction (1) at 25°C.

 

3) Industrially, however, the reaction does not proceed at 25°C but at 500°C. Therefore, calculate (with all relevant intermediate calculations) the standard reaction Gibbs free energy, ΔrG500o, for reaction (1) at 500°C under the assumption that the standard molar heat capacities, Cop, in Table 1 are independent of temperature in the interval [25°C, 500°C]
