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

Question 117

Short Answer

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)
Determine Δ\Delta G for the above reaction at 850°C.  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)+ 3O<sub>2</sub>(g) \rarr 2PbO(s)+ 2SO<sub>2</sub>(g) Determine \Delta G for the above reaction at 850°C.
