Why are noble gases so unreactive?

This is due to the number of electrons in the outer shell of their atoms. Their outer shell is full, meaning it is difficult for them to give or take electrons.

Why in a strong acid and strong bases reaction, a drop of acid added would not change its PH dramatically but has a big drop near the equivalent point?

Calculate ΔG (in kJ/mol) of the reaction of molecular oxygen and carbon monoxide to produce carbon dioxide. The reaction occurs at 25°C. ΔH = -566 kJ/mol, ΔS = -173 J/K. Based on the result, determine the spontaneity of the reaction.
