Heating copper(II) oxide at 400°C does not produce any appreciable amount of Cu: CuO(s) SCu(s) + 0 AG = 127.2 kJ/mol However, if this reaction is coupled to the conversion of graphite to carbon monoxide, it becomes spontaneous. Write an equation for the coupled process and calculate the equilibrium constant for the coupled reaction. Be sure to include the states of the chemical species. Kea %3D

Nickel metal reacts with carbon monoxide to form tetra-carbonyl nickel, Ni(CO)4: Ni(s)+4CO(g)Ni(CO)4(g) This reaction is exploited in the Mond process in order to separate pure nickel from other metals. The reaction above separates nickel from impurities by dissolving it into the gas phase. Conditions are then changed so that the reaction runs in the opposite direction to recover the purified metal. (a) Predict the sign of S for the reaction as written above. (b) Use tabulated thermodynamic data to calculate H, S , and G for the reaction. (c) Find the range of temperatures at which this reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
What is the third law of thermodynamics? What are standard entropy values, S, and how are these S values (listed in Appendix 4) used to calculate S for a reaction? How would you use Hesss law to calculate S for a reaction? What does the superscript indicate? Predicting the sign of S for a reaction is an important skill to master. For a gas-phase reaction, what do you concentrate on to predict the sign of S? For a phase change, what do you concentrate on to predict the sign of S? That is, how are Ssolid, Sliquid, and Sgas related to one another? When a solute dissolves in water, what is usually the sign of S for this process?
