Sulfur Can Be Separated from Lead in the Mineral Galena \rarr

Question 7

Multiple Choice

Sulfur can be separated from lead in the mineral galena, PbS(s) , by "roasting" the ore in the presence of oxygen as shown in the following reaction: 2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) \rarr 2PbO(s) + 2SO2(g)
Calculate Δ\Delta S \circ for this reaction using the thermodynamic data provided below. S(J/K mol) PbS(s) 91.2O2(g) 205.0PbO(s) 69.45SO2(g) 248.5\begin{array}{|l|c|}\hline & \mathrm{S}^{\circ}(\mathrm{J} / \mathrm{K} \cdot \mathrm{~mol}) \\\hline \mathrm{PbS}(s) & 91.2 \\\hline \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) & 205.0 \\\hline \mathrm{PbO}(s) & 69.45 \\\hline \mathrm{SO}_{2}(g) & 248.5 \\\hline\end{array}
