2 CH4(g) CHo(g) + H2(g)
14) At 375 K, the decomposition of copper (I) oxide is not a thermodynamically
favored process. 2 Cu20(s)4 Cu(s) + O2(g) AG375K = 280.0 kJ
If solid carbon is added to the system, the following reaction would occur.
2 C(s) + O2(g) 2 CO(g) AGy75K =- 287.6 kJ
Is the formation of pure copper from the decomposition of copper (I) oxide in the
presence of solid carbon a thermodynamically favored process at 375 K? Justify
