Question

Predict whether sulfur dioxide will reduce copper (II) oxide at 298 K.
SO2(g) + CuO(s) →Cu(s) + SO3(g)
Hint: The enthalpy change for the above reaction, calculated from the values of enthalpies of formation is 14.1 kcal. Similarly, the entropy change is calculated to be -0.60 cal/K.

Answer 1

Answer:

No because this reaction is unfavourable according to gibbs hemzolts equation
