Many oxides of nitrogen have positive values for the standard free energy of formation. Using $\mathrm{NO}$ as an example, explain why this is the case.
Added by Albert A.
Step 1
Step 1: The standard Gibbs free energy change for the reaction involving the formation of nitrogen dioxide ($\mathrm{NO_2}$) from nitrogen monoxide ($\mathrm{NO}$) can be expressed as $\Delta G = 2\Delta G_f(\mathrm{NO_2}) - 2\Delta G_f(\mathrm{NO})$. Show more…
