If #\tt{\DeltaG°_(f,NO_2(g))=31.3" kJ"//"mol"}# and #\tt{\DeltaG°_(f,NO(g))=86.6" kJ"//"mol"}# at 298 K, then calculate #\tt{K_p}# at 298 K?
#\sf{"Sorry if I have asked this before!"}#
The reaction is as follows:
#\tt{NO(g)+1/2O_2(g)\harrNO_2(g)}#
The reaction is as follows:

Just like we did here, this problem just reverses the situation.
However, the

Once we fixed that,
#K_P = 1.53 xx 10^6#
What are the implied units of
#K_P = P_(NO_2)/(P_(NO)P_(O_2)^(1//2))#
And instead of what we did here, we are to calculate
As in this question, we again use Gibbs' free energy of formations:
#DeltaG_(rxn)^@ = sum_P n_P DeltaG_(f,P)^@ - sum_R n_RDeltaG_(f,R)^@# where
#DeltaG_f^@# is the change in Gibbs' free energy of reaction at#25^@ "C"# and#"1 atm"# in#"kJ/mol"# , and#P# and#R# are products and reactants.#n# is the mols of substance.
Hence, since the reaction is
#"NO"(g) + 1/2"O"_2(g) rightleftharpoons "NO"_2(g)# ,
we just have
#DeltaG_(rxn)^@ = ["1 mol" cdot "51.3 kJ/mol NO"_2] - ["1 mol" cdot "86.6 kJ/mol NO" + 1/2 "mol O"_2 cdot "0 kJ/mol O"_2]#
#=# #-"35.3 kJ"#
#= -"35.3 kJ/mol NO"_2(g)#
We know that for gas-phase reactions at equilibrium,
#DeltaG_(rxn)^@ = -RTlnK_P#
and for aqueous reactions at equilibrium,
#DeltaG_(rxn)^@ = -RTlnK_c#
And therefore, for this spontaneous gas-phase reaction,
#color(blue)(K_P) = e^(-DeltaG_(rxn)^@//RT)#
#= e^(-(-"35.3 kJ/mol")//("0.008314 kJ/mol"cdot"K" cdot "298.15 K"))#
#= color(blue)(1.53 xx 10^6)#
