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

Question 34

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° for this reaction using the thermodynamic data provided below.
