Problem

Three gaseous reactions are carried out at 298\,K under standard-state conditions. Standard molar free-energy changes are given below. (a) List the three reactions in order of decreasing equilibrium constant KK (largest KK first). (b) Provide a concise justification for your ranking that references both the sign and the magnitude of the given ΔG∘\Delta G^{\circ} values. (c) Identify which reaction’s equilibrium lies farthest toward reactants and explain how the numerical value of ΔG∘\Delta G^{\circ} supports that conclusion.
