5. Atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen react to form nitrogen monoxide in an endothermic reaction that
absorbs 90.2 kJ of energy per mole of NO formed. Experimental data suggests that the decomposition NO
back into N2 and Oz has an activation energy close to 300 kJ/mol.
a.
Build the energy diagram associated with this reaction.
b. Compare the probabilities of the forward and backward processes based on the corresponding activation
energies (E) and configuration effectiveness (CE).
