18.67 Consider the reaction Given that DG8 for the reaction at 258C is 173.4 kJ/mol, (a) calculate the standard free energy of formation of NO, and (b) calculate KP of the reaction. (c) One of the starting substances in smog formation is NO. Assuming that the temperature in a running automobile engine is 11008C, estimate KP for the above reaction. (d) As farmers know, lightning helps to produce a better crop. Why

a. 86.7KJ/mol

b. 2.5 * 10^30

c. 1.42 * 10^55

d. Lightning produces more amount of NO from nitrogen and oxygen thus giving a better crop as NO is essential for crop growth

Explanation:

Complete question is as follows;

Consider the reaction N2(g)+ O2(g) —-> 2NO(g)

Given that ΔG0 for the reaction at 25 degrees celsius is 173.4 kJ/mol a) calculate the standard freeenergy of formation of NO and B) calculate KP ofthe reaction. C) One of the starting substances in smog formationis NO. Assuming that the temperature in a running automobile engine is 1100 degreesC, estimate KP of the above reaction.D) As farmers know, lighting helps to produce a better crop.Why?

solution

Please check attachment for complete solution and step by step explanation

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
