1.	Consider the DeltaG_(f)^(0) and Delta H_(f)^(0) (kJ/mol) for the following oxides. Which oxide can be most easily decomposed to form the metal and oxygen gas?
Answer» `ZNO (Delta G^(0) = -318.4, Delta H^(0)= -348.3)` `Cu_(2)O (Delta G^(0) = - 146.0, Delta H^(0) = -168.8)` `HGO (Delta G^(0) = -58.5, Delta H^(0) = - 90.8)` `PBO (Delta G^(0) = -187.9, Delta H^(0) = -217.3)` Solution :`\|Delta G\| prop` Stability
