Question
The thermite reaction used in some welding applications has the following enthalpy and entropy changes at 298.15 K. Assuming AS and All are constant, calculate AG at 448 K. Fe203+ 2A1(s) 217e(s) + A1203(s) AHO = 851.5 kJ AS = 38.5 J/K
Solution
The first step in solving 16 problem number 33 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The thermite reaction used in some welding applications has the following enthalpy and entropy changes at 298.15 K. Assuming AS and All are constant, calculate AG at 448 K. Fe203+ 2A1(s) 217e(s) + A1203(s) AHO = 851.5 kJ AS = 38.5 J/K
From the textbook chapter Reaction Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
