Math Problem Statement

Calculate ΔH°rxn and ΔS°rxn for the reaction NO2(g) + CO(g) → NO(g) + CO2(g) at 25°C using thermodynamic data. Use ΔH°f and S° values provided in a thermodynamic properties table to find ΔH°rxn and ΔS°rxn, then calculate ΔG°rxn at 25°C.

Solution

To solve this problem, you'll need the thermodynamic properties (ΔHf\Delta H^\circ_f and SS^\circ) for each of the species involved in the reaction: NO2\text{NO}_2, CO\text{CO}, NO\text{NO}, and CO2\text{CO}_2. Let me guide you step by step:

Steps to Solve:

  1. Calculate ΔHrxn\Delta H^\circ_\text{rxn}: Use the formula: ΔHrxn=ΔHf(products)ΔHf(reactants)\Delta H^\circ_\text{rxn} = \sum \Delta H^\circ_f (\text{products}) - \sum \Delta H^\circ_f (\text{reactants})

  2. Calculate ΔSrxn\Delta S^\circ_\text{rxn}: Use the formula: ΔSrxn=S(products)S(reactants)\Delta S^\circ_\text{rxn} = \sum S^\circ (\text{products}) - \sum S^\circ (\text{reactants})

  3. Calculate ΔGrxn\Delta G^\circ_\text{rxn}: Use the Gibbs free energy equation: ΔGrxn=ΔHrxnTΔSrxn\Delta G^\circ_\text{rxn} = \Delta H^\circ_\text{rxn} - T \Delta S^\circ_\text{rxn} where TT is the temperature in Kelvin (convert 25C25^\circ C to 298K298 \, \text{K}).


Let me know if you have the table of thermodynamic properties, or if you'd like me to use standard reference values to calculate these quantities for you. Alternatively, I can guide you through filling in each part based on your provided data.
