Question

ΔGof (standard free energy of formation) of ZnO and CO are -318.2 kJ mol1 and -137.3 kJ mol1 respectively.

ZnO+CZn+CO

The approximate value of ΔGof in kJmol1 for the above reaction is _______kJ mol1.

Solution

Zn+12 O2ZnO , ΔGof = - 318.2 kJ/mol

C+12O2CO , ΔGof = -137.3 kJ/mol

ZnO+CZn+CO

ΔGo=ΔGof(CO)ΔGof(ZnO)

=137.3(318.2)

=180.9181 kJ mol1

Positive value of ΔGo indictes that reaction is non-spontaneous.
(However, it is spontaneous above 1000oC).
