The factor of \[\Delta G\] values is important in metallurgy. The \[\Delta G\] values for the following reactions at \[{{800}^{o}}C\] are given as: |
\[{{S}_{2}}(s)+2{{O}_{2}}(g)\to 2S{{O}_{2}}(g)\,;\] \[\Delta G=-544\,kJ\] |
\[2Zn(s)+{{S}_{2}}O\to \,2ZnS(s)\,;\] \[\Delta G=-293kJ\] |
\[2Zn(s)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\to 2ZnO(s);\] \[\Delta G=-480\,kJ\] |
Then \[\Delta G\] for the reaction |
\[2ZnS(s)+3{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}2ZnO(s)+2S{{O}_{2}}(g)\] |
will be: [AIPMT 2000] |
A) \[\text{ }357\text{ }kJ\]
B) \[-731\text{ }kJ\]
C) \[-773\text{ }kJ~\]
D) \[-229\text{ }kJ\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
\[\Delta G\] of formation of different substances are as |
\[2\text{ }S{{O}_{2}}=-544\text{ }kJ\] |
\[2\,ZnS=-293\text{ }kJ\] |
\[2\,\,ZnO=-480\text{ }kJ\] |
For the reaction |
\[2ZnS+3{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2ZnO(s)+2S{{O}_{2}}(g)\] |
\[\Delta G=[\Delta {{G}_{(products)}}-\Delta {{G}_{(reac\tan ts)}}]\] |
\[=[(-480)+(-544)-(-293)]\] |
\[=-1024+293\] |
\[=-731\text{ }kJ\] |
