Question
  1. Calculate ΔSϴ for the reduction of aluminum oxide by hydrogen gas:

    Al2O3(s) + 3H2(g) → 2Al(s) + 3H2O(l)

    Use the following thermochemical data:

    Al2O3(s)                Sϴ = 51.0 J mol–1 K–1

    H2(g)                     Sϴ = 131 J mol–1 K–1

    Al(s)                      Sϴ = 28.0 J mol–1 K–1

    H2O(l)                   Sϴ = 189 J mol–1 K–1

      a.

    +138 J K1

      b.

    –192 J K1

      c.

    +365 J K1

      d.

    179 J K–1

      e.

    –262 J K1
