One of the reactions that happens in a catalytic converter in the exhaust pipe of a car is the simultaneous oxidation of carbon monoxide and reduction of nitrogen monoxide (both of which are gases and harmful pollutants) to carbon dioxide gas and nitrogen gas. (10 pts) a. Use standard free energies of formation (AGⓇ) to determine AGºran for this reaction at 25°C. Is the reaction spontaneous at standard conditions? b. For the above reaction, calculate AG rx, again at 25°C, using the formula AGxnAHXTASrn. How does this value compare to the value calculated in part a. (Calculate % error) C. Calculate the AGørn for this reaction at 500K, which is closer to the operating temperature of the car engine. ,
