Tutorial No. 10 1st Nov 2022

1. In a plot of ΔGo vs T, what is the slope of the line for the reaction Mg(s) + ½ O2(g) =
MgO(g) DGo = -600600 + 102.16T if

i) Mg and MgO are pure solid and oxygen is at 1 atm. Pressure


ii) Mg is pure solid and oxygen is at 1 atm. pressure, but MgO is in solid solution in
FeO, with its activity being 0.05 w.r.t. pure MgO(s).
iii) Draw a line from the origin (0 K,0 J/mol) of the plot of ΔGo vs T for the case (i). What
is the slope of the new line passing through the origin? What is its physical
significance quantitatively?

2. A system consists of MnO(s), carbon(s) and a gas. The gas phase consists of CO, CO2
and O2. Pressure of the gas is one atm. throughout.
a. What is the gas composition in equilibrium with carbon(s) alone at 1000 K?
b. Will MnO get reduced to Mn(s) at 1000K under this condition?
c. If no, what is the minimum temperature at which this reduction takes place ? What is the
gas composition at this temperature ?
Given: C(s) + ½ O2(g) = CO(g) DGo = -114400 -85.8T
C(s) + O2(g) = CO2(g) DGo = -395399 - 0.5T
Mn(s) + ½ O2(g) = MnO(g) DGo = -391900 + 78.3T
