question 34

Essay

In the atmosphere, nitrogen gas can react with ozone (O₃) to form nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas.Write the balanced reaction equilibrium using the smallest whole-number coefficients possible.Determine the equilibrium constant for this reaction under standard conditions from the following data and note whether the reaction is product favored or reactant favored.
$\Delta G^{\circ}\left(\mathrm{O}_{3}, g\right)=163.2 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$
$\Delta G^{\circ}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{2}, g\right)=51.3 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$
