To determine whether sodium can reduce aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) to aluminum at 298 K, we need to calculate the standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) for the reaction and check its sign. If ΔG° is negative, the reaction is feasible; if it is positive, the reaction is not feasible. ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation The balanced reaction for the reduction of aluminum oxide by sodium can be written as: \[ \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3(s) + 6\text{Na}(s) \rightarrow 2\text{Al}(s) + 3\text{Na}_2\text{O}(s) \] ### Step 2: Identify the standard Gibbs free energy of formation values From the problem, we have the following values: ...
