When of glucose, , was burnt in a bomb calorimeter, according to the following equation, the temperature raise is found to be at .
If the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter is , the approximate enthalpy change of the reaction in is (Molar mass of glucose )

Tin is obtained from cassiterite by reduction with coke. Use the data given below to determine the minimum temperature (in ) at which the reduction of cassiterite by coke would take place.
Assume that the enthalpies and the entropies are temperature independent.

The heat of reaction for
at constant volume is at . The heat of reaction at constant pressure and same temperature is




For the reaction


,
the amount of heat produced as measured in bomb calorimeter, is at . Assuming ideality the Enthalpy of combustion, , for the reaction will be:



Based on the above thermochemical equations, the value of at for the reaction
will be:
