Chapter 17, Problem 17.27QE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of work done has to be calculated for the reaction,

  $\text{Fe}\left(\text{s}\right)\text{+}\text{5CO}\left(\text{g}\right)\to \text{Fe}{\left(\text{CO}\right)}_{\text{5}}\left(\text{g}\right)$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of work done has to be calculated for the reaction,

  ${\text{6CO}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)\text{+}{\text{6H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\left(\text{l}\right)\to {\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}\left(\text{s}\right)\text{+}{\text{6O}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)$
