Question

Write the chemical equation for the reaction used in the commercial production of silicon carbide. Is it enthalpy or entropy driven? Explain your reasoning. Calculate the values of ΔHU and ΔSU for the process to confirm your deduction, then calculate ΔGU at 2000°C.

00:01 In this question what we are looking at, we are looking at a reaction of mnco3, reacting with oxygen to produce mno2 and co2.
00:12 Now to balance this out, the oxygen we're going to have half here.
00:16 So this is the actual reaction that is occurring.
00:19 So what we can do here to determine the heat of reaction.
00:23 You can have the standard heat of reaction being equal to the enthalpy change of formation of the product...
