Question: Consider the reaction N2(g) + O2(g) 2NO(g) Given that G for the reaction at 25C is 173.4 kJ/mol, (a) calculate the standard free energy

Consider the reaction
N2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2NO(g)
Given that ∆G° for the reaction at 25°C is 173.4 kJ/mol, (a) calculate the standard free energy of formation of NO, and (b) calculate KP of the reaction. (c) One of the starting substances in smog formation is NO. Assuming that the temperature in a running automobile engine is 1100°C, estimate KP for the above reaction. (d) As farmers know, lightning helps to produce a better crop. Why?
