Question: In this problem, you calculate the error in assuming that ÎH o R is independent of T for the reaction 2CuO(s) 2Cu(s) + O 2

In this problem, you calculate the error in assuming that ΔHoRis independent of T for the reaction

2CuO(s) ‡‹ 2Cu(s) + O2(g).

The following data are given at 25°C:

Cu(s) CuO(s) 0,(g) Compound AH;(KJ mol™1) AG; (KJ mol

a. From Equation (6.65),

T, 1 AHR K,(T,) dIn Kp | dnkp K,(T,) RdT. ΔΗ R T?

To a good approximation, we can assume that the heat capacities are independent of temperature over a limited range in temperature, giving ΔHoR (T) = ΔHoR (T0) + ΔCP(T ˆ’ T0), where ˆ†CP

Cu(s) CuO(s) 0,(g) Compound AH;(KJ mol1) AG; (KJ mol") -157 -130 |CE,m(KJ

By integrating Equation (6.65), show that

mol-1) 42.3 24.4 29.4 T, 1 AHR K,(T,) dIn Kp | dnkp

b. Using the result from part (a), calculate the equilibrium pressure of oxygen over copper and CuO(s) at 1275 K. How is this value related to Kp for the reaction 2CuO(s) ‡‹ 2Cu(s) + O2(g)?

c. What value would you obtain if you assumed that ΔHoR were constant at its value for 298.15 K up to 1275 K?

Cu(s) CuO(s) 0,(g) Compound AH;(KJ mol1) AG; (KJ mol") -157 -130 |CE,m(KJ mol-1) 42.3 24.4 29.4 T, 1 AHR K,(T,) dIn Kp | dnkp K,(T,) RdT. R T?
