**Chemical Reaction and Thermodynamics:**

Given the following equation,

\[ \text{N}_2\text{O}_{(g)} + \text{NO}_2_{(g)} \rightarrow 3\text{NO}_{(g)} \]
\[ \Delta G^\circ_{\text{rxn}} = -23.0 \, \text{kJ} \]

Calculate \( \Delta G^\circ_{\text{rxn}} \) for the following reaction:

\[ 2\text{N}_2\text{O}_{(g)} + 2\text{NO}_2_{(g)} \rightarrow 6\text{NO}_{(g)} \] 

**Explanation:**

The given reaction has a Gibbs free energy change (\( \Delta G^\circ_{\text{rxn}} \)) of -23.0 kJ. To find the \( \Delta G^\circ_{\text{rxn}} \) for the second reaction, note that the stoichiometry of the second reaction is exactly double that of the first. Therefore, the \( \Delta G^\circ_{\text{rxn}} \) for the second reaction will be double that of the first equation. Calculate this by multiplying the given \( \Delta G^\circ_{\text{rxn}} \) by 2.
