Question
89. Consider this reaction occurring at 298 K:
N2O(g) + NO2(g)
3 NO(g)
a. Show that the reaction is not spontaneous under standard
conditions by calculating A Grxn
b. If a reaction mixture contains only N2O and NO2 at partial
pressures of 1.0 atm each, the reaction will be spontane-
ous until some NO forms in the mixture. What maximum
partial pressure of NO builds up before the reaction ceases to
be spontaneous?
c. Can the reaction be made more spontaneous by an increase
or decrease in temperature? If so, what temperature is
required to make the reaction spontaneous under standard
conditions?
