PROBLEMA 1 SOLUCION

1.- Conversion of copper matte (Cu2S-FeS)

With the help of the thermodynamic data determine if at 1300 ° C the metal phase is mainly formed by Cu (l)
and the slag phase is mostly conformed by fayalite. The slag phase can retain up to 15% Cu. Proposes a method
of recovering this metal phase.

We ask:

a.- Write the reactions as to be represented in an Ellingham diagram.

b.- Establish the reductive order for the chosen metals at a temperature of 1300 ° C.

c.- Calculate the Hº average and the Sº average of any of the reactions and indicate if it is exothermic

d.- For the studied temperature range, its increase favors the
formation of slag and Cu (l).

. c) De la ecuación

∆𝐺 = ∆𝐻𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑚 − 𝑇∆𝑆𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑚

Y según los datos ∆𝐺 = 𝐴 − 𝑇(−𝐵)

Comparando ∆𝐻𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑚 = 𝐴

∆𝑆𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑚 = −𝐵

Entonces elegimos la Reacción 1

4𝐶𝑢 + 𝑂2 ↔ 2𝐶𝑢2 𝑂
Para la reacción :

∆𝐻𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑚 = 𝐴 = −252.09560

∆𝑆𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑚 = −𝐵 = −0.09240

𝑇 = 1573 𝐾

De esta manera

∆𝐺=-106.7504 KJ/mol

Su valor es negativo por lo que la reacción es espontánea y es exotérmica
