Acrylonitrile is the starting material used in the manufacture of acrylic fibers (U. S. annual production capacity is more than 2 million pounds). Three industrial processes for the production of acrylonitrile are given below. Using data from Appendix 4, calculate ΔSo, ΔHo, and ΔGo for each process. For part a, assume that T = 25oC; for part b, T = 70oC; and for part c, T = 700oC. Assume that ΔHo and ΔSo do not depend on temperature.
