The equilibrium constant for the reaction
(a) $\mathrm{NO(g) \rightleftharpoons N_2O(g)+NO_2(g)}$
at 25°C is closest to: $\left[\Delta \mathrm{G}^{\mathrm{o}}=-104.18\,\mathrm{kJ}; \mathrm{R}=8.314\,\mathrm{J\,mol^{-1}\,K^{-1}}\right]$
(a)$1.8 \times 10^{18}$
(b)1.651
(c)1.043
(d)$5.7 \times 10^{-19}$
Answer
Answer: A ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
K = exp(−ΔG°/RT) = exp(104180/(8.314 × 298)) = e^42.05 ≈ 1.8 × 10¹⁸ (a).
