Free energy change, denoted as \( \Delta_{\text{r}} G^{\circ} \), is an important concept in thermodynamics and chemistry that describes the amount of energy available to do work during a chemical reaction. In the context of a reaction, if \( \Delta_{\text{r}} G^{\circ} \) is negative, the reaction can proceed spontaneously under standard conditions.However, if it is positive, like in the formation of NO from N鈧� and O鈧� with a value of 86.58 kJ/mol, the reaction is non-spontaneous.
The free energy change is a central measure used to determine both the spontaneity and feasibility of reactions:

• A negative \( \Delta_{\text{r}} G^{\circ} \) means the process releases energy, spontaneously moving forward.
• A positive \( \Delta_{\text{r}} G^{\circ} \) indicates energy must be added for the reaction to occur.

The relationship between \( \Delta_{\text{r}} G^{\circ} \) and the equilibrium constant\( K \) is given by the formula \( \Delta_{\text{r}} G^{\circ} = -RT \ln K \), where \( R \) is the universal gas constant and \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin.

Equilibrium equations express the state of a chemical reaction where the rates of the forward and backward reactions are equal. This means the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant over time. Equilibrium can be represented by a constant known as the equilibrium constant \( K \).
The equilibrium constant is derived from the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants, each raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients. For the given reaction:\[ \frac{1}{2} \text{N}_2(\text{g}) + \frac{1}{2} \text{O}_2(\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons \text{NO}(\text{g}) \]the constant \( K_p \) can be determined using the equation:\( \Delta_{\text{r}} G^{\circ} = -RT \ln K_p \).
In this exercise, \( \Delta_{\text{r}} G^{\circ} \) was calculated as +86.58 kJ/mol, indicating a non-spontaneous reaction, and leading to an exceptionally low \( K_p \) value of approximately \( 7.1 \times 10^{-16} \). This signifies that at equilibrium, the reactants are much more prevalent than the products, indicating the equilibrium strongly favors the reactants.

Thermodynamics is the study of energy transformations in reaction processes. It provides insights into whether chemical reactions will occur spontaneously and to what extent. Using the principles of reaction thermodynamics, one can determine the spontaneity and equilibrium position of a reaction.
The key thermodynamic parameters are:

• Enthalpy (\( \Delta H \)): The total energy of a system. It is not directly addressed in this exercise, but it plays a crucial role in conjunction with entropy to determine spontaneity.
• Entropy (\( \Delta S \)): The degree of randomness or disorder in a system. It influences the free energy change, and hence the equilibrium of a reaction.
• Free Energy (\( \Delta G \)): Combines enthalpy and entropy changes to assess whether a process can be spontaneous.

Through the equation-related energy changes and equilibrium constant, reacting systems can be evaluated for feasibility and direction.
