Find the magnitude of the free energy change (in kJ/mole) at the temperature (2000ºC) where carbon can reduce the metal oxide to produce CO as follows:
2MO + 2C → 2M + 2CO

TestHub · Accepted Answer

MO can be reduced by C at 2000°C. 2 C + O 2 ​ → 2 CO Δ G 1 ​ = − 600 kJ / m o l e 2 MO → 2 M + O 2 ​ Δ G 2 ​ = + 300 kJ / m o l e ---------------------------------------------------------- 2 C + 2 MO → 2 M + 2 CO Δ G r ​ = − 300 kJ / m o l e ∣Δ G r ​ ∣ = 300 kJ / m o l e
