Just like we did , this problem just reverses the situation.
However, the

Once we fixed that,
$K_P = 1.53 xx 10^6$
What are the implied units of
$K_P = P_(NO_2)/(P_(NO)P_(O_2)^(1//2))$
And instead of what we did , we are to calculate
As , we again use Gibbs' free energy of formations:
$DeltaG_(rxn)^@ = sum_P n_P DeltaG_(f,P)^@ - sum_R n_RDeltaG_(f,R)^@$ where
$DeltaG_f^@$ is the change in Gibbs' free energy of reaction at$25^@ "C"$ and$"1 atm"$ in$"kJ/mol"$ , and$P$ and$R$ are products and reactants.$n$ is the mols of substance.
Hence, since the reaction is
$"NO"(g) + 1/2"O"_2(g) rightleftharpoons "NO"_2(g)$ ,
we just have
$DeltaG_(rxn)^@ = ["1 mol" cdot "51.3 kJ/mol NO"_2] - ["1 mol" cdot "86.6 kJ/mol NO" + 1/2 "mol O"_2 cdot "0 kJ/mol O"_2]$
$=$ $-"35.3 kJ"$
$= -"35.3 kJ/mol NO"_2(g)$
We know that for gas-phase reactions at equilibrium,
$DeltaG_(rxn)^@ = -RTlnK_P$
and for aqueous reactions at equilibrium,
$DeltaG_(rxn)^@ = -RTlnK_c$
And therefore, for this spontaneous gas-phase reaction,
$color(blue)(K_P) = e^(-DeltaG_(rxn)^@//RT)$
$= e^(-(-"35.3 kJ/mol")//("0.008314 kJ/mol"cdot"K" cdot "298.15 K"))$
$= color(blue)(1.53 xx 10^6)$
