Question:

Titanium is obtained by the reduction of TiCl4(l), which in turn is produced from the mineral rutile (TiO2).

(a) With data from Appendix D, determine ΔrG° at 298 K for this reaction.

TiO2 (s) + 2 Cl2(g) TiCl4 (1) + O2(g)

(b) Show that the conversion of TiO2(s) to TiCl4(l), with reactants and products in their standard states, is spontaneous at 298 K if the reaction in (a) is coupled with the reaction

2 CO(g) + O2(g) 2 CO(g)
