Calculate the free energy change for the reaction: 2 NO(g) + O2(g) → 2 NO2(g)
(A) - 9.3 kcal
(B) + 24.9 kcal
(C) + 9.3 kcal
(D) - 16.6 kcal
(E) + 16.6 kcal

(D) - 16.6 kcal

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the Gibbs free energy for the given reaction is computed in terms of the Gibbs free energy of formation of each species involved in the chemical reaction:

Thus, it is found for nitrogen monoxide, oxygen and nitrogen dioxide the following Gibbs free energies of formation: 87.6, 0 and 51.3 kJ/mol respectively, therefore we compute:

The closest result is (D) - 16.6 kcal, as such difference is noticed when different sources for thermochemical data are used, in this case, the NIST data were used.

Best regards.

is there any options? maybe im just not seeing them but i need the options to
