2. Regarding CO + \frac{1}{2}O_2 = CO_2 reaction, (total 20%)
(1) Which direction does the reaction proceed with increasing temperature? Explain why.
(5%)
(2) Which direction does the reaction proceed with increasing pressure? Explain why.
(5%)
(3) By fixing CO_2/CO ratio at 99, above or below what temperature do you need to
control in order to keep the partial pressure of oxygen below $10^{-12}$ atm? (10%)
$C_{(s)} + \frac{1}{2}O_{2(g)} = CO_{(g)}$, $\Delta G^\circ (J) = -111700 - 87.65T$
$C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} = CO_{2(g)}$, $\Delta G^\circ (J) = -394100 - 0.84T$
