The factor of `DeltaG` values is importantin metallurgy.The `DeltaG` values for the following reactions at `800^(@)C` are given as `S_(2)(g) + 2O_(2)(g) rarr 2SO_(2)(g), DeltaG = - 544KkJ` `2Zn(s) + S_(2)(g) rarr2ZnS(s),DeltaG= - 293kJ` `2Zn(s) +O_(2) (g) rarr2ZnO(s),DeltaG = - 480 kJ ` The `DeltaG` for the reaction `2ZnS(s) + 3O_(2)(g) rarr2ZnO9g) +2SO_(2)(g)` will beA. `-731kJ`B. `- 787 kJ`C. `- 534kJ`D. `- 554kJ`

Answer» Correct Answer - a
From the given reactions,
`Delta_(f)G^(@) (SO_(2)) = - ( 544)?( 2) = - 272 kJ mol^(-1)`
`Delta_(f)G^(@) ( ZnS) = - ( 293)/( 2) = - 146 .5kJmol^(-1)`
`Delta_(f)G^(@) (ZnO)= - ( 480)/( 2) = - 240 kJ mol^(-1)`
For the required reaction
`Delta_("reaction") G^(@) = SigmaDelta_(f)G^(@) (`Products) - `Delta_(f)G^(@) (` Reactants)
` [2 Delta_(f)G^(@) (ZnO) + 2Delta_(f)G^(@) ( SO_(2))]- [2Delta_(f)G^(@) ( ZnS) + 3 xx 0]`
`= - 480 + ( - 544) - ( - 293) = - 731kJ`
