Iron ore exists as Fe2O3. In order to remove the oxygen and generate pure iron, the oxygen must be transferred to another molecule. Carbon monoxide can be mixed with iron ore and carbon dioxide is generated. Carbon monoxide is produced in the combustion of carbon with limited oxygen. Calculate the value of ΔS° for the oxidation of carbon to carbon monoxide, 2C (s, graphite) + O2 (g) --> 2CO (g)

A. +179.4 J/mol K

B. +408.6 J/mol K

C. -408.6 J/mol K

D. +395.8 J/mol K

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.

explanation:

the density(ratio between mass and volume as m/v) decreases from top to bottom in periodic table group as the size increases and nuclear charge decreases. but in periods density increases from left to right as atom size decreases and nuclear charge increases.
