Question: Using the Richardsen - Ellingham diagram, element ( A ) = C u : 9 , F e : 8 , S i : 7

Using the Richardsen-Ellingham diagram, element (A)=Cu:9,Fe:8,Si:7,Ti:6,Mn:5,
Ca:4, Al:3, Ni:2, Mg:1, Co:0. A: second digit before last digit of S.Number.
a) Find the equilibrium partial pressure of oxygen in equilibrium in reactions (i) and (ii) at below melting point of element A. Take the same temperature all sub questions! Example:TiO2,u=1,n=2. What is the Kp?
(i)(2un)A(s)+O2(g)=(2n)AuOn(s)
(ii)43Al(s)+O2(g)=23Al2O3(s)
b) Do A and Cr oxidize at 500C or below melting point of element A in air? Prove.
c) Let assume that A and Al are mixed to form a A-Al alloy. Solid solution of A and Al contains xAl=0.1 and solute atoms obeys Henrys'law. Henry's activity constant is 6. Assume the composition of alloy change during oxidation in air. At equilibrium at alloy/oxide interface xAl=0.05.
Express Kp for the Al.given in the eq. Below. What is the equilibrium partial presure at this interface?
43Al(s)(insolution)+O2(g)=23Al2O3(s)(this reaction happen alloy/oxide interface)
 Using the Richardsen-Ellingham diagram, element (A)=Cu:9,Fe:8,Si:7,Ti:6,Mn:5, Ca:4, Al:3, Ni:2, Mg:1, Co:0.
