16.4 Exercise 16

Avg difficulty 2.5

Consider the following reaction at 298 K:
N2O4(g)⇌2NO2(g)KP=0.142\text{N}_{2} \text{O}_{4} \left(g\right) \rightleftharpoons \text{2NO}_{2} \left(g\right) K_{P} = 0.142

What is the standard free energy change at this temperature? Describe what happens to the initial system, where the reactants and products are in standard states, as it approaches equilibrium.
