Under the appropriate conditions, NO forms NO2 and N2O:

3NO(g) <--> N2O(g) + NO2(g)

Use the values for delta G naught for the following reactions to calculate the value of Kp for the above reaction at 500.0 C

2NO(g) + O2(g) <--> 2NO(g)
delta g=-69.7 kJ

2N2O(g) <--> 2NO(g) + N2(g)
delta g= -33.8 kJ

N2(g) +O2(g) <--> 2NO(g)
delta g= 173.2 kJ

Kp=??

Check that post. 2NO + O2 ==> 2NO isn't balanced. I didn't check the rest of the post.

Its supposed to be 2NO + O2 <--> 2NO2. I forgot the 2.

eqn 1 as is

eqn 2 reversed.
eqn 3 reversed.
Add 1+2+3 to find total equn which will give you twice the numbers for coefficients. Divide everything by 2.
For dH, keep 1 as is, change the sign on 2 and 3 and add them, then divide by 2 to find dGo rxn
Then dGo = -RTlnK
you know dGo, R is 8.314, T is 500 C (change to kelvin), solve for Kp. .

so to invert the equation to get k by itself its ln(dGo/-RT) ?? that's my answer?

To find the value of Kp for the given reaction at 500.0°C, we can use the thermodynamic relationship between ΔG° and Kp, given by the equation:

ΔG° = -RT ln(Kp)

where ΔG° is the standard Gibbs free energy change, R is the gas constant (8.314 J/(mol·K)), T is the temperature in Kelvin, and ln represents the natural logarithm.

First, let's convert the given temperature of 500.0°C to Kelvin:
T = 500.0 + 273.15 = 773.15 K

Now, we can use the values of ΔG° for the provided reactions to determine the value of Kp for the reaction we are interested in:

2NO(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2NO(g)
ΔG° = -69.7 kJ

2N2O(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + N2(g)
ΔG° = -33.8 kJ

N2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2NO(g)
ΔG° = 173.2 kJ

To find the value of Kp for the reaction:
3NO(g) ⇌ N2O(g) + NO2(g)

We can use the relationship:
ΔG°reaction = ΣnΔG°f(products) - ΣmΔG°f(reactants)

where ΔG°reaction is the standard Gibbs free energy change for the overall reaction, ΣnΔG°f(products) is the sum of the standard Gibbs free energy changes for the products, and ΣmΔG°f(reactants) is the sum of the standard Gibbs free energy changes for the reactants.

Let's substitute the values into the equation:

ΔG°reaction = 2ΔG°f(2NO) + ΔG°f(N2O) + ΔG°f(NO2) - 3ΔG°f(NO)

Now, we need to rearrange the equations for the reactions to match the stoichiometry of the desired reaction:

2NO(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2NO(g)
ΔG° = -69.7 kJ

Multiply this equation by 2 to match the coefficients of NO:
4NO(g) + 2O2(g) ⇌ 4NO(g)
2ΔG° = -139.4 kJ

2N2O(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + N2(g)
ΔG° = -33.8 kJ

Add this equation to match the coefficients of NO:
4N2O(g) ⇌ 4NO(g) + 2N2(g)
2ΔG° = -67.6 kJ

N2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2NO(g)
ΔG° = 173.2 kJ

Multiply this equation by 2 to match coefficients of NO:
2N2(g) + 2O2(g) ⇌ 4NO(g)
2ΔG° = 346.4 kJ

Now, add the equations together:
2ΔG° + 2ΔG° - 67.6 kJ - 139.4 kJ + ΔG° + 346.4 kJ = ΔG°reaction

Combine the terms:
4ΔG° + 139 kJ = ΔG°reaction

Now substitute the values of ΔG° for the reactions:
4(-33.8 kJ) + 139 kJ = ΔG°reaction
-135.2 kJ + 139 kJ = ΔG°reaction
3.8 kJ = ΔG°reaction

Finally, substitute the value of ΔG°reaction back into the equation for ΔG° and solve for Kp:

ΔG° = -RT ln(Kp)
3.8 kJ = -(8.314 J/(mol·K))(773.15 K) ln(Kp)
-3.8 kJ = -(8314 J/(mol·K))(0.77315 K) ln(Kp)
-3.8 kJ = -6423.2028 J ln(Kp)

Now, solve for ln(Kp):
ln(Kp) = (-3.8 kJ) / (-6423.2028 J) = 0.000591589

Take the exponential of both sides to find Kp:

Kp = e^(ln(Kp))
Kp = e^(0.000591589)
Kp ≈ 1.001

Therefore, the value of Kp for the given reaction at 500.0°C is approximately 1.001.
