Question: Comment on the feasibility of extracting copper from its ore chalcocite (Cu2S) by heating: Cu2S(s2 2Cu(s) + S(s) Calculate the G for the overall

Comment on the feasibility of extracting copper from its ore chalcocite (Cu2S) by heating:
Cu2S(s2 → 2Cu(s) + S(s)
Calculate the ∆G° for the overall reaction if the above process is coupled to the conversion of sulfur to sulfur dioxide. Given that ∆G°f(Cu2S) 5 286.1 kJ/mol.
