Tin is obtained from cassiterite by reduction with coke. Use the data given below to determine the minimum temperature (in K) at which the reduction of cassiterite by coke would take place.

298 K: ΔfH0SnO2(s)=-581.0 kJ mol-1, ΔfH0CO2(g)=-394.0 kJ mol-1

S0SnO2(s)=56.0 JK-1 mol-1, S0(Sn(s))=52.0 JK-1 mol-1

S0(C(s))=6.0 JK-1mol-1, S0CO2(g)=210.0 JK-1mol-1

Assume that the enthalpies and the entropies are temperature independent.

The surface of copper gets tarnished by the formation of copper oxide. N2 gas was passed to prevent the oxide formation during heating of copper at 1250 K. However, the N2 gas contains 1 mole % of water vapour as impurity. The water vapour oxidises copper as per the reaction given below:

2Cus+ H2Og Cu2O(s) + H2(g)

PH2 Is the minimum partial pressure of H2 (in bar) needed to prevent the oxidation at 1250K. The magnitude of value of lnPH2 is ____.

(Given: total pressure = 1 bar, R (universal gas constant) = 8 J K-1 mol-1,ln10 = 2.3. Cu(s) and Cu2O(s)  are mutually immiscible.

At 1250 K: 2Cus+12 O2g Cu2O(s); G = - 78,000 J mol-1

The standard state Gibb's free energies of formation of  C (graphite) and C (diamond) at T=298 K are

ΔfGoC (graphite=0 kJ mol-1

ΔfGoC diamond=2.9 kJ mol-1

The standard state means that the pressure should be 1 bar, and substance should be pure at a given temperature. The conversion of graphite [C (graphite)] to diamond [C (diamond)] reduces its volume by 2×10-6 m3 mol-1 . If C (graphite) is converted to C (diamond) isothermally at T=298 K, the pressure at which C (graphite) is in equilibrium with C (diamond), is

When 100 mL of 1.0 M HCl was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in an insulated beaker at constant pressure, a temperature increase of 5.7oC was measured for the beaker and its contents (Expt.1). Because the enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid with a strong base is a constant (-57.0 kJ mol-1) , this experiment could be used to measure the calorimeter constant. In a second experiment (Expt. 2), 100 mL of 2.0 M acetic acid (Ka=2.0×10-5) was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH (under identical conditions to Expt. 1) where a temperature rise of 5.6oC was measured. (Consider heat capacity of all solutions as 4.2 J g-1 K-1 and density of all solutions as 1.0 g mL-1 )
