Aluminum Forms a Layer of Aluminum Oxide When Exposed to Air

Question 2

Multiple Choice

Aluminum forms a layer of aluminum oxide when exposed to air which protects the bulk metal from further corrosion.4Al(s) + 3O2(g) \rarr 2Al2O3(s) Using the thermodynamic data provided below, calculate Δ\Delta S \circ for this reaction. S(J/K mol) Al(s) 28.3O2(g) 205.0Al2O3(s) 50.99\begin{array}{|l|c|}\hline & \mathrm{S}^{\circ}(\mathrm{J} / \mathrm{K} \cdot \mathrm{~mol}) \\\hline \mathrm{Al}(s) & 28.3 \\\hline \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) & 205.0 \\\hline \mathrm{Al}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}(s) & 50.99 \\\hline\end{array}


A) 182.3 J/K·mol
B) 131.5 J/K·mol
C) -182.3 J/K·mol
D) -626.2 J/K·mol
