Tin is obtained from cassiterite by reduction with coke. Use the data given below to determine the minimum temperature (in K ) at which the reduction of cassiterite by coke would take place.

\(298 K: \Delta_{ f } H ^0\left( SnO _2(s)\right)=-581.0 kJ mol ^{-1}\), \(\Delta_{ f } H ^0\left( CO _2(g)\right)=-394.0 kJ mol ^{-1}\)

\(S ^0\left( SnO _2(s)\right)=56.0 JK ^{-1} mol^{-1}, S^0( Sn ( s ))\) \(=52.0 JK ^{-1} mol^{-1}\)

\(S ^0( C ( s ))=6.0 JK ^{-1} mol^{-1}, S^0\left( CO _2(g)\right)\) \(=210.0 JK ^{-1} mol^{-1}\)

Assume that the enthalpies and the entropies are temperature independent.
