when an primay aromatic amine is treated with NaNO_(2)+HCl at 0^(0)-5^(0)C , a diazonium salt is formed and the reaction is called diazo reaction. In this reaction mineral acid must be added to prevent the coupling reaction of diazonium salt with excess of aryl amine. Diazonium salt is highly useful in the synthesis of number of coloured dyes. When 2, 4-dinitroaniline react with NaNO_(2)+HCI at 5^(0)C followed by reaction with anisole, a coloured compound is formed which can be given as

For a spontaneous reaction, the free energy change must be negative. DeltaG=DeltaH-TDeltaS is the enthalpy change during the reaction. T is absolute temperature, and AS is the change in entropy during the reaction. Consider a reaction such as the formation ofan oxide . M+O_(2) MO Dloxygen is used wp in the course of this reaction. Gases have a more random structure (less ordered) than liquid or solids consequently gases have a higher entropy than liquids and solids, in this reaction (entropy or randomness) decreases, hence is negative. Thus, the temperature is raised the DeltaS becomes more negative. Since, TDeltaS is subtracted in the equation, then SG becomes less negative. Thus, the free energy changes increases with the increase in temperature. The free energy changes that occur when one mole of common reactant in this case dioxygen) is we may e plotted graphically against temperature for a number of reactions of metals to their oxides. The following plot is called an Ellingham diagram for metal oxide. Understanding of Ellingham diagram is extremely important for the efficient extraction of metals. Free energy change of Hg and Mg for the convertion to oxides the slope of DeltaG . T has been changed above the boiling points of the given metal because
