Question
1) The first step in the production of high purity silicon for semiconductors is represented by this
equation.
SiO:(s) + 2C(s) → Si(s) + 2CO(g) AH° = +689.9 kJ
a. Calculate AH; for SiO2(s). Given: AHº for CO(g) = -110.5 kJ-mol1
b. Find ASpan for the production of pure silicon. Given: S° for C(s) = 5.7 J-K-1-mol-1, for CO(g) is
197.6 J-K--mol-1, for Si(s) = 18.8 J-K-1.mol-1, and for SiO2(s) = 41.8 J-K-1-mol-1
c. Determine AG° for the reaction at 25 °C.
d. Find the minimum temperature in °C at which this reaction is spontaneous. Assume that AH°
and AS° do not vary with temperature.
