Question: S i ( s ) + O 2 ( g ) S i O 2 ( s ) a t 5 0 0 C (

Si(s)+O2(g)SiO2(s)at500C
(30) For Equilibrium between Si and SiO2,
a) Determine the standard enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy of formation of SiO2 at 298K from Ellingham diagram. Compare the results in 1.a.1kcal=4187 joules. T=O at OK(-273C). Do not forget.
b) Read the equilibrium oxygen pressure pO2(g),pH2gpH2O(g) ratio, and pCOgpCO2(g) ratio from the Ellingham diagram using correct scales at 500C!
c) Write chemical reactions used for these three different scales.
d) What must be the gas mixture ratio, and pCOgpCO2(g) ratio) for all to prevent Si(s) from oxidation or to decompose SiO2? Use equilibrium constants!!
