Mr. Auric Goldfinger, criminal mastermind, intends to smuggle several tons of gold across international borders by disguising it as lumps of iron ore. He commands his engineer minions to form the gold into little spheres with a diameter of exactly 8 cm and paint them black. However, his chief engineer points out that customs officials will surely notice the unusual weight of the "iron ore" if the balls are made of solid gold (density 19.3 g/cm"). He suggests forming the gold into hollow balls One of the balls of fake instead (see sketch at right), so that the fake "iron ore" has the same density as real iron ore (5.15 g/cm). "iron ore," sliced in half. Calculate the required thickness of the walls of each hollow lump of "iron ore." Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 2 significant digits. ?

1. More than 2000 years ago human cultures figured out a way to produce iron metal from rocks containing iron ores. This iron could be worked by a blacksmith (repeated heating and hammering) to make iron metal pure enough for creating useful tools (even Samurai swords). This direct heating technique was common up until about 200 years ago when people found a better way to obtain iron metal. When hematite, Fe2O3(s), is strongly heated in a blast furnace in the presence of charcoal (carbon), pure iron metal is obtained. Fe2O3() 2 Fe(s) + 3/2 O2 (g) (1) C(s) + O2 (g) → CO2(g) (2) When reaction 1 is coupled to reaction 2, overall chemical equation is Fe2O3() + 3/2 C() 3/2 CO2(g) + 2 Fee) Use the thermodynamic data given below for the following calculations: AG¡ (kJ/mol) | 4H¡ (kJ/mol) | S (J/mol-K) Fe2O3(s) -742.2 -824.2 87.40 Fes) 27.28 CO2(8) -394.36 -393.51 213.74 C (6) 5.74 O2 (2) 205.14 a) Calculate the standard Gibb's free energy change for reaction 1 b) Calculate the standard Gibb’s…
