Question

Copper metal is made by smelting copper ores. Calculate ?Ssys, ?Ssurr, and ?Suniv at 25°C given the following thermodynamic values.

I know Delta system= prod-react

delta surr is -delta syst/ T

and delta univ= delta sys + delta Surr

The answers i calculated are

(Note: delta H= -216.5 kj/mol)

delta System= 11.6 J/K

delta surr = 726.51 J/K

delta uni= 738.11 J/K

Can you check my work and show an explanation

Cu2S(s)O21g) 2 2 Cu(s) SO2(g) AH (kJ/mol) -79.5 0 S° (J/mol-K) 120.9 205.0 0 296.8 33.1 248.1

Explanation / Answer

Cu2S(s) + O2(g) ---> 2Cu(s) + So2(g)

DSsys = Sproducts - Sreactants

       = (248.1+(2*33.1))-(120.9+205.0)

        = -11.6 j/mol.k

DHrxn = (-296.8)-(-79.5)

       = -217.3 kj/mol

qsurr = 217.3 kj/mol

if DH is -ve . energy releases to surroundings.so that entropy of

universe increases.

DSsurroundings = q/T = (217.3*1000)/298

          = 729.2 j/mol.k


Dsuni = DSsys + DSsurr

       = (-11.6)+(729.2)

       = 717.6 j/mol.k
