Chapter 18.4, Problem 18.2CC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formation of nitric oxide from nitrogen and oxygen has to be explained using standard free energy of formation.

Concept introduction:

Standard free energy of formation:

The change in free energy for the formation of $\text{1}\text{mole}$ any substance from its starting materials in their standard states (i.e. $\text{1}\text{atm}\text{and}\text{25}{}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$).

To explain: the standard free energy of formation of nitric oxide
