Explanation / Answer

Carbon monoxide + nitrogen dioxide --> carbon dioxide + dinitrogen trioxide

CO + NO2 -----> CO2 +N2O3

1. balanced reaction is CO + 2NO2 -----> CO2 +N2O3

2. Kc= p[CO2] p[N2O3]/ p[CO]p[NO2]2

Kc= 1.43*3.35/ 0.224*(0.386)2 = 143.42 atm-1

Kp=Kc(RT)?n

?n= 2-3= -1

Kp=143.32(0.0821*300) -1

Kp= 5.822 atm -2

3. ?G= -2.303RTlogKp

?G = -2.303*.0821*300 log(5.822)

?G= -43.39Kj/mol

4. ?G= -nFEcell

Ecell= ?G/nF= -43390 J/mol/ 1*96500= 0.45 V

Ecell= 0.45V
