The primary reaction involved in the Mond process is Ni(s)+4CO(g)Ni(CO)4(g) a. Without referring to Appendix 4, predict the sign of S for the above reaction. Explain. b. The spontaneity of the above reaction is temperature-dependent. Predict the sign of Ssurr, for this reaction. Explain c. For Ni(CO)4(g), Hfo=607KJ/mol and S = 417 J/K mol at 298 K.

Calculate the temperature at which G = 0 (K = 1) for the above reaction, assuming that H and S do not depend on temperature. e. The first step of the Mood process involves equilibrating impure nickel with CO(g) and Ni(CO)4(g) at about 50C. The purpose of this step is to convert as much nickel as possible into the gas phase. Calculate the equilibrium constant for the above reaction at 50.C. f. In the second step of the Mood process, the gaseous Ni(CO)4 is isolated and heated to 227C. The purpose of this step is to deposit as much nickel as possible as pure solid (the reverse of the preceding reaction). Calculate the equilibrium constant for the preceding reaction at 227C. g. Why is temperature increased for the second step of the Mood process? h. The Mond process relies on the volatility of Ni(CO)4 for its success. Only pressures and temperatures at which Ni(CO)4 is a gas are useful. A recently developed variation of the Mood process carries out the first step at higher pressures and a temperature of l52C. Estimate the maximum pressure of Ni(CO)4(g) that can be attained before the gas will liquefy at 152C. The boiling point for Ni(CO)4 is 42C and the enthalpy of vaporization is 29.0 kJ/mol. [Hint: The phase change reaction and the corresponding equilibrium expression are Ni(CO)4(l)Ni(CO)4(g)K=PNi(CO)4 Ni(CO)4(g) will liquefy when the pressure of Ni(CO)4 is greater than the K value.]arrow_forward
