The oxide MnO₂ reacts with limited amounts of carbon,C(s), to produce Mn(s) and CO(g). Write the balanced equation, and calculate the amount of carbon needed to produce 22.8 L CO(g) at 1.00 atm and 298 K in a reaction with excess MnO₂. Calculate ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS° at 298 K for the reaction. Estimate the minimum temperature needed to make this reaction spontaneous at standard-state conditions (ΔG° < 0).
